Family Feedback
Comments from the families regarding any suggested improvements for the program included the following:
• Staff could use training in other therapies for young people, not just behavior modification
• If they could more clearly communicate the goals for the weekly family therapy and how that supports or coordinates with the individual and group therapies, I think that would help.
• Open up another clinic on west side of Washington. Your treatment plan doesn’t exist there
• We are very satisfied with everything that Tamarack staff is doing for our daughter and our family. We have no suggestions at this time.
