Success Stories
Real people. Real recovery. We are proud to share stories from our clients, staff and stakeholders who continually inspire the work that we do.
A positive experience at Hummingbird Healing House
"Our experience with Hummingbird was so very different. Early on, we received our first call from Scott Cranny. Scott let us know that he would be working closely with J. during his stay there. He explained the goals of Hummingbird and the plan he had developed exclusively for our son."
– L. & J.
The Path of Recovery and Resiliency of one of our Amazing Persons Served from the Crestwood Fresno Bridge
"J.J.H. joined the Crestwood Fresno Bridge family in October of 2018 and since that time, she has demonstrated resiliency and hope through her personal strengths of self-advocacy. On her first day at the Fresno Bridge."
Collaboration Changes Lives!
"I would like to share an awesome collaborative success story for former client Greg. Greg was conserved and placed at the Crestwood Fresno Bridge. Through Greg’s hard work, determination and perseverance, he earned his release from conservatorship early because of the great support he received from the Fresno Bridge staff."
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Making a Difference
"My name is Patrick. I have been learning about DBT for 6 or 7 months at Crestwood San Diego. I have noticed that DBT is helping me in a lot of ways. Before I started DBT I did not handle problems in a healthy way. DBT has taught me some healthy skills."
Two Incredible Crestwood San Diego and Crestwood Chula Vista Graduates who are Making a Difference and Giving Back
"When Crestwood San Diego opened in June 2014, a client named J. was admitted to the program in its second week of services. It was then that J. and staff created and began working on her personal plan for recovery."
The Amazing Staff at Crestwood American River Campus
Two wonderful stories from American River
"A client was admitted to the American River PHF unit following an attempt at suicide. He was very withdrawn, not interacting with staff or peers. While meeting with his Service Coordinator, the man mentioned that he was not able to read the forms presented to him."
Donna Wigand’s Story
“Together, we struggled against age old bias, fear and a misinformed constituency within the community to establish a safe environment for consumers seeking recovery and their rightful place in society. Today there is a calmness… a broadening of understanding, and the recovery of spirits.”
