Client Spot­light: Thank­ful to be Doing Better

November 27, 2018

Jim has spent his career help­ing oth­ers lead health­i­er lives. Today, he is grate­ful for how KYC has helped him do bet­ter at nur­tur­ing his own emo­tion­al health.

Jim has faced true chal­lenges in his rela­tion­ships with fam­i­ly that have caused emo­tion­al pain. He also lives with a con­di­tion that caus­es chron­ic phys­i­cal pain and fatigue. After years of work­ing in health­care, his wors­en­ing phys­i­cal health made it impos­si­ble for him to keep his job as a care provider in a retire­ment com­mu­ni­ty, and he had to give up a job that he loved. After years of car­ing for oth­ers, he knew it was time to care for him­self, and he reached out for help. 

With­out pri­vate insur­ance, Jim had a tough time find­ing the right fit for his emo­tion­al and men­tal care. He recalls trav­el­ling long dis­tances to vis­it men­tal health agen­cies, only to find that they could not accept his health care cov­er­age. Oth­er orga­ni­za­tions that could accept his cov­er­age did not pro­vide the lev­el of care he expected. 

Then Jim found KYC. 

At KYC, he sees a ther­a­pist that he feels is tru­ly com­mit­ted to him. He receives indi­vid­ual coun­sel­ing and also attends a group that has taught him dif­fer­ent tools, exer­cis­es, and strate­gies to form healthy rela­tion­ships. He found a sup­port sys­tem not only from his ther­a­pist, but also among the oth­er peo­ple who attend the group meetings. 

From the time he walks in the front door of KYC’s office, he feels that the entire staff cares about him. 

Jim feels thank­ful to have found the right sup­port, and wants oth­ers to know that KYC is here for them, too. He is doing bet­ter emo­tion­al­ly, and has regained the con­fi­dence he need­ed to try to re-enter the work force. He hopes to once again help oth­ers in need. 

Like Jim, many of our clients do not have pri­vate insur­ance. KYC is proud to be an orga­ni­za­tion that can pro­vide cru­cial ser­vices and pro­grams to peo­ple with a vari­ety of health care cov­er­age networks. 

Your gifts can help to ensure that KYC can con­tin­ue to pro­vide qual­i­ty care and inno­v­a­tive pro­grams to oth­ers in our com­mu­ni­ties so that they can do bet­ter, too.
