Stephanie Payne, clinical supervisor at Rogers Behavioral Health, said the Family Room can help families ease the transition into treatment by offering practical resources.
“Any first day of mental health treatment is a little bit scary and having your loved one just across the hall and then even able to support is just valuable,” Payne said.
