“Support staff and nurses were angels shining the light and providing excellent care for my son. They were very approachable, showing consideration and understanding of parents’ views to help put our minds at ease. Being a person who had lost faith in mental health services – Cygnet restored this as I have my son back with a new found hope.”Parent
