I am writing in green because green means growth and Paige really helped me grow and heal. Paige has a healthy spirit and outlook on life. She has a calm disposition and is a true people person. One day I was really struggling to keep myself safe and calm. Paige recognized me struggling, yet trying and doing my best. She gave me a book called pocket prayers along with a mini pocket card that said "you matter" on the front, "you are a unique, beautiful soul" inside, and she wrote on the back page, "you matter, you are kind, you are strong". These two items really brought me hope and encouragement that day and every day since. Paige continued to be supportive and a cheerleader to me after that day. Behavioral health is blessed to have her.
