Newport Academy in Kirkland was a huge blessing. My daughter spent almost 90 days here. Prior to that, over the course of 8 months, she had 5 different hospital admissions and countless ER visits. She had horrible anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Was she 100% better when she got home? No. But she was given the tools and skills to combat her problems and emotions. She has been home almost a year and is doing amazing. She has had no hospital admissions and is 7 months self harm free and able to manage her anxiety and emotions. As a parent, I truly felt supported. From family therapy to Zoom visits to parent support groups to education opportunities and post discharge check-ins, as well as weekly progress reports from the education departments. There was always support and communication. The family therapist was amazing and didn't shy away from having the hard conversations that needed to happen. It gave me as a single parent the tools to understand my daughter better and how to work on healing our relationship. All of the staff was helpful and easy to reach. Sending my daughter away and putting my trust into these caregivers was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do, and I don't regret it for one second. She is a much healthier, happier person. I appreciate the staff more than words can express because I know that she was very difficult at times. Things were not easy for her as she worked through her issues, but I put my trust in them, and they worked diligently with her. Mental health is extremely hard to treat as nobody falls into the same box. Things at Newport may not always go according to plans, but one thing I can say is that the staff worked hard to ensure her safety and responded kindly to her when she struggled. I know that we would not be where we are now without the treatment and support from Newport.

I was a resident here mid 2023 and i’m happy to say it has helped me immensely. Treatment was difficult at times but after discharge ive noticed significant improvement with coping skills and general betterment of myself.

Our family is extremely grateful for the support shown to our daughter during her time at Newport. As a clinician myself, I had high standards for the care and strategies that would be used in treatment and Newport rose above my expectations. The team communicated thoroughly with us, resulting in what felt like a partnership. Most importantly, the team at Newport helped our daughter find her voice and learn to self-advocate. It has been several months since she has returned home and we continue to see consistent progress and our daughter. She continues to use the skills that she learned during her time at Newport, and most importantly has returned home with an openness to receiving support and a willingness to ask for it. We cannot thank Newport enough!
