Albert J. Solnit Psychiatric Center - South Campus 915 River Road, Middletown, CT 06457

"I’m very nervous for typing this it prolly won’t get seen but that’s alright I’m helllllaaaaa late I’ve been here tons of times I believe I was 14 when I first came and I was obviously a damaged person from the start because of the trauma I’ve had growing up when I was with my family I’ve done horrible things and said horrible things to the staff members, I’m so disgusted by the way I’ve acted I’m 23 now doing a whole lot better in my life and my past still haunts me although now i cope better with it But im 23 years old and to just flash back on the stuff I’ve done to them people it honestly hurts me because I’ve realized now (and this is sad) that they were only tryna help me and if I just allowed them to help me then all the stuff I did to them wouldn’t keep haunting me the way it does right now ( I do cope very well with it though) but if I can just apologize to them face to face I would because if I did the program right things would have been extremely different. I’m thankful for the things I have now but I just want the solnit south staff to know I’m sorry for everything and if I could go back and change everything I would. I enjoyed the activities they had for us I’d like to thank Miguel for pulling me aside when I’d ask for his time so that we can plan activities with other kids they were always so fun playing kickball and had the ping pong tournament (I won first place) I enjoyed beating all the staff members who could play ping pong I miss those days…. I’d like to thank Dave shinn ( idk how to spell his name lol) but I’d like to thank him for pulling me off the unit to play ping pong with me, man that man is good I finally beat him though but sometimes I think he let me win since it was my last time being there due to age LOL :’D…. all the rec staff were amazing and fun the teachers were also amazing and fun and funny as heck lol… all of the staff rocked man and I wish I could play pingpong again with you guys especially the champ Dave shinn hope all is well and take care. ~ love jayde. :)"

"Buildings in need of updating, sad and depressing atmosphere. Psychiatrist has not seen patient in 6 weeks!"

"Very professional staff who helped my child so much with her mental illness, I am so grateful for this place! They really work wonders, Dr. Landau was so professional and easy going, answering all of our questions and concerns no matter what time of the day it was. If you have a child with mental or behavior issues, this is the place to take them!"

"Best hospital and love the staff. They were funny as hell an the staff Nick and Jamal always had me cracking up on bad days"
