Three questions families ask, answered here.
Can I be involved in treatment?
Visitation is on Fridays, 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., and the visiting page covers who can visit, where to park and how to pick up belongings. What a family member can attend and how discharge planning works are set by the clinical team. Admissions can tell you where that stands.
Visiting hours and parkingWhat do I say?
Say what you have seen and what you are worried about, in plain terms, without an ultimatum attached. Ask what they want. The most useful thing a family member can offer is a phone number and a ride, not an argument.
How do I set a boundary?
A boundary describes what you will do, not what they must do — "I will not give you money" rather than "you have to quit." It holds without withdrawing the relationship, which is what makes it different from an ultimatum.
