“Yellowbrick is an internationally unique treatment center integrating interdisciplinary research with expert clinical experience into a transformative, coherent treatment model.”

Yellowbrick saved our son’s life. It is that simple and that complex. Our son (now 21) spent 7 months in the Yellowbrick program and he too agrees that it saved his life. I have worked in the field of children’s behavioral health my entire career and can say without a doubt the professional staff at YB is the most expert, clinically sophisticated, caring, and committed group I have ever experienced. They work nearly 24 hours a day, always on call, talking with the kids and the parents and managing endless crises.

Thank you Bryn,
We really enjoyed our time visiting our daughter at Yellowbrick. It is hard to overestimate what that meant to all of us and our happiness. She still has a long way to go, don’t get me wrong. But we thought she seemed better and happier than we have seen her in years. She is “connecting the dots”. She likes the staff very much. All of you there have been very good with her and we appreciate it very much. Thank you all for what you do. It is awfully hard, I know. I look forward to our continued conversations.

Hey Dr. Viner,

I’m doing well. I had a rough few years after leaving Yellowbrick, but found my way through. Lots of therapy and hard work later, I completed college and did a bit of a graduate degree in psychology statistics before deciding to go another path. I’m now running the pantry at a local soup kitchen and food pantry. I live with my girlfriend of 5 years. Life is pretty good!

I hope all is well with you!

“I think of you and the team there often. You do really good work and you are incredibly brave and compassionate. I don’t know what the future will bring, but the last year and a half has been a gift that I know wouldn’t have happened without the time at Yellowbrick.”

Dr. Viner, I’m a former Yellowbrick patient and resident from over a decade ago. I have been thriving since leaving Yellowbrick, being especially stable for the past 8 years or so.

I want to express my sincere gratitude. It’s exciting that I’ve moved forward these past 12 years so much so that I don’t think about Menninger or Yellowbrick much. Taking care of my mental health is a priority but not my identity.
You all are truly unsung heroes.
Please take care.

Sincerely,

Dr. Viner,
I want to thank you for welcoming me so warmly to Yellowbrick yesterday. You and your excellent staff have created such a generous culture. I was struck by the continuity of kindness and care from every one I encountered – wow! And the Clinical Conference, I’m still thinking about how each person’s expertise and care were expressed so directly as if to say: “We care about you and we want you to get better – do you care as much?” I wish that I were looking for a job but instead, I’m heartened to know that such a place exists so that I might refer someone to your most excellent care.
Thank you for the inspiring visit, I’m grateful to have been invited.
Warm regards –

I wanted to thank you for all the time you spent helping me get my life on track. You’ve had a lasting impact on my life, the kind that I’m never going to forget. Best wishes for the end of this year, the new year, and every year after that.

I was one of the first residents of Yellowbrick. I am happy to see it still running. I am married with two beautiful girls and am working as a registered nurse. Just wanted to touch base. Thank you for teaching me DBT as I find it a useful tool even today. I really do love and use the skills taught to me all those years ago. It still blows my mind when I think of how far I’ve come.
