Before I came to the DCIL I was lost and hopeless. My physical and mental health were at an all time low and I was frustrated, empty, and afraid. I felt like I had been abandoned by everyone, that I had nothing to look forward to, and I didn’t have any reason for living. That all changed when I became a part of the DCIL. They have provided the support, education, direction, and assurance that I needed to regain my physical and mental health. I was treated with warmth, care, and understanding and I met with staff who helped me to examine and find a positive direction for my life. DCIL provided classes, training, and activities which helped me to address mental health issues and find peace of mind. I regained contact with survival skills, leisure skills, and activities that brought joy into my heart and hope into my life. I also attended groups and classes which helped me to live a healthy lifestyle and to deal with chronic physical issues. The Staff’s appreciation and dedication to each consumer along with the support and social interaction provided by the program has been extremely helpful in my recovery. I thank you for supporting the DCIL and I look forward to a bright future.
Sincerely,
Deland G.DeCoteau
