"Forever grateful to the compassionate team at Oasis"

About: Monash Children's Hospital

(as a parent/guardian),

Our high-functioning autistic and ADHD son went through a mental health crisis and attempted suicide twice, my husband and I were at our breaking point and terrified for his safety. 

Arriving at Oasis changed everything. The staff possess a rare, genuine warmth and an incredible ability to connect with young people. They did not put any pressure on our son, allowing him to open up at his own pace. Slowly, he was out of the bedroom playing basketball and board game, we saw him smile again. We want to send a special thank you to Jo. Despite being incredibly busy, Jo made time to check in on us. He validated our experiences as parents and helped ease the immense guilt we felt for not realising how deeply our son had been struggling all along. Fast forward to today - our son receives the support that he needs, is now the co-captain of his basketball team and loves showing off the card shuffling trick he learnt from Jo. Our family could not be happier, and we owe it all to Oasis. Thank you!
