Working on an adult inpatient psychiatric unit has given me ample opportunities to learn about clinical systems, trauma-focused care, and how systems of oppression affect individuals on a daily basis. Thank you for your kindness and for helping me and the other students at UConn.

One sibling with bipolar disorder and a parent with psychotic depression, neither one chronic. I was definitely going to a psychiatric hospital, particularly since this was a weekend and my regular outpatient care team wasn’t available.
