It was the late at night and I was in crisis, I’ve had a history of suicidal tendencies but I decided I wanted to help myself. I went there because it said they had a crisis center open where I could just talk to someone for the night and maybe feel better until I could get a regular therapist. But I did not have insurance at the time, I begged them to just let me speak to someone, I was in desperate need of help and I didn’t want to be admitted to the hospital if it was preventable at this time. They refused and said they couldn’t help anyone without insurance. Tell me how that’s a community

Nearly all of the staff here is rude, unprofessional, and condescending. Not to mention the doctors have tried prescribing me medications that are listed in my charts as dangerous for my body. Every time I have an appointment they neglect to send me the information to connect to the telehealth appointment, or my doctor is out of the office despite having appointments scheduled and will not even call to reschedule before I arrive at the office. I have been court ordered to see this office and a therapist as well and because of their negligence, I could be hospitalized long-term despite that not

Bridges and the crisis unit is a joke I went in last week to get re assessed for new Oakland which is a great place and when I got to the crisis unit they told me they couldn't do that because I wasn't out of new Oakland long enough and that they could get me into bridges and that they had 2 beds open but it was to late for me to go get a covid test and to come back in the morning and I would get in so I went back in the morning and they told me the beds were full and to call back every day and there should be a opening within a day or two and now I'm on day 6 of calling and was just told to try

First let me start off with it's not all bad. My theripst is great! On the other hand the rest of the staff and doctors are horrible! They treat you like your not important, hang up on you and constantly push back your appointments.
I have had to reschedule or push back my appointment numerous times because they don't have their things together. I have expressed my thoughts and feelings and told "please don't call back unless you have a different concern, please please dont."
I understand they are short staffed and only have so many funds. THIS SHOULD BE NO WAY TO TREAT YOUR PATIENTS! NO MATTER

I tried to do the right thing for myself and come here for services. During my intake I stated I needed therapy and to get back on my medication for my condition. At intake I was told I could receive therapy but not medication as they dont have a Dr that can prescribe them. I agreed therapy was better than nothing and set up an appointment. During my first appointment I find out they do in fact have a dr to prescribe meds, so great I thought. The lady I was scheduled to see was pregnant and when she took leave I was assigned to someone else, no problem because thats understandable. So far so good

I dont feel like my son getting help he need he need get retested with real problem he got .what therapist ask my grandma or stranger ask him same stuff for free. . its like how are you helping the kid. Thats why i do every two weeks instead of every week. Im about to change it every 3 weeks. My son still act the same.

My caseworker kiesha did absolutely nothing for me and i got stuck with her for a week. Basically just provide meals and a place to stay here. There are a couple exceptional staff members that really care but also a few that are just collecting checks and dont care at all. It was sad to watch people suffer that dont have the ability to advocate for themselves.. smh :(

I receive services here and truly believe they offer exceptional care! Although I’ve never been in a crisis situation my mental heath has deteriorated multiple times and both my case managers I’ve had in the span of treatment , Maria and Rebecca, have been phenomenal in providing resources, plans, etc. The nurses in Team 1 are by far my favorite they always make sure I’m taken care of even when I feel “well” and am not compliant with medications they will call and remind me the benefits of coming in! Because of community mental health I am able to live a pretty independent life now whereas

A few years ago I was under their care for problems I was having, the staff never helped me in any meaningful way. I did learn a valuable lesson that people like these are parasites who live off the misfortune of others to line their own pockets and I have worked ever since at surrounding myself with a better quality of people than those who I met through this place and it has worked. Skip this place and go find a real Doctor that can help you better yourself and not just keep you showing up so they get their insurance kickbacks.
