2012 Updates from Skyland Trail

Client and family participation in all of our services increased in 2012, and we welcomed more clients to our campuses than ever before. To help meet demand, we extended our treatment hours, expanded our programs, and increased our staffing in key areas.

Key changes in 2012 included expanded treatment hours for individual and group psychotherapy at our main campus from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The expansion helped accommodate our growing client community and allowed us to offer more advanced and specialized groups. We now offer 125 groups per week.

Carlyle Bruce, PhD, joined Skyland Trail as a full-time psychologist, increasing our capacity for family therapy and psychological testing. We conducted 506 family therapy sessions in 2012.

We added 24-hour nursing to the staffing pattern at Skyland Trail North. Now both South and North residential campuses have a registered nurse onsite 24 hours a day.

In 2012, with a focus on offering hope, clients demonstrated a 61% improvement in their feelings of hopelessness.

Clients discharged in 2012 reported a 59% increase in their attitude toward activities of daily living and overall functioning, demonstrating our goals of changing lives.

Skyland Trail offers specialized expertise in helping individuals recover from severe mental illness through a client-centered, holistic treatment approach.
