Elisa was initially referred for residential treatment due to worsening depression and suicidal thoughts. The bilingual Intensive In-Home Services team stepped in and started therapy to help Elisa feel heard and empowered – as a result her self-esteem has increased, her nightmares have stopped, and she is learning to be more assertive in a respectful and positive way. She is also working on building healthy relationships, and improved her relationship with her mother and sister tremendously.
