It shouldn't be so damn hard to find decent #mentalhealth facilities, but it is.
If I'd asked what facilities folks DON'T recommend, the list would be a mile long.
But when I ask for GOOD facilities, even some of the most informed folks can't suggest places in good conscience.

The problem isn't us.
It's systems that don't represent us.
That said, WAY too many folks who've had good experiences at psych facilities refuse to speak up about it, bc...God forbid anyone thinks they have a #mentalhealth diagnosis.

All of this to say, please speak up.
