Juan’s Story

Juan entered treatment with Vista due to excessive hospitalizations and suicidal ideation. His family also asked him to move out due to his mental health symptoms, and for a time he was homeless. Through treatment he was able to reduce frequent hospitalization, connect with a case manager, and attend groups in his preferred language. He is now in stable housing, attends the gym, and has not returned to the hospital in the last 3-4 months.
