An 18-year-old from Nebraska, Kamryn Jackson, who struggled with anxiety and depression to the point of contemplating suicide, credits her turnaround and newfound hope to a local program called “Imagine.” This intensive behavioral health treatment program is designed for teenagers aged 12-17.
The program focuses on individual, group, and family-focused therapy sessions in a safe, non-judgmental treatment environment. It typically runs for five weeks, with clients dedicating around six hours per day to therapy.
Kamryn Jackson’s therapist, Dr. Amy Batten, highlighted the importance of commitment in the program’s success. Jackson’s dedication to the program led to significant positive changes in her mental health.
Jackson described how being part of the program helped her realize she wasn’t alone in her struggles, as she was surrounded by others experiencing similar issues.
Kamryn Jackson commemorated her journey through the program with a tattoo reading “IMAGINE,” signifying not only her past but also her future growth and freedom.
Batten emphasized the importance of checking in regularly with loved ones and recommended the suicide hotline, accessible 24/7 by calling or texting 988, as a valuable resource for anyone in need.
This success story highlights the transformative potential of mental health programs and the importance of seeking help and support when facing mental health challenges.
