""My best memory at Bayfront is when my wraparound team took me to an off-campus USC library where they showed me how to meditate in nature and have daily check-ins with myself. I am thankful for one of my last sessions where my wraparound team helped me with shopping for interviews outfits to be ready for securing employment"."
Kris
Client
"I cant think of one memory but just all the laughs in therapy and one session that sticks out in my head is when we drew a black hole on paper that represented grief and added circles around in in different colors that represented other parts of our lives we have built and it makes the grief look smaller and less lonely."
Mike
Care Giver
"We are eternally grateful for our whole wraparound team. Our role as parents is more respected by our daughter and the rest of our children, thanks to the whole wraparoundteam. Lastly, we are now a stronger family, we are more attentive to each other, and we are more united than ever."
Fatima
Client
"My team connected me to an organization that serves teenagers and young adults with developmental disabilities. After working with this population, my perspective changed on how I view people with special needs and now I can see their strengths. I learned that I am patient, I am humble, and I am kind."
Andrea
Care Giver
"My family and I have learned many new skills that will help us to keep growing as a family. We learned how to communicate more effectively and be mindful of our tone of voice when we speak to each other. We learned how to better understand our daughter's mental health needs and how to help her grow. "
