Ciara's Story

At just 15-years-old Ciara* struggles with anxiety and thoughts of suicide.

Ciara’s family had exhausted all resources available in their small town and needed extra support to help Ciara through an especially challenging night. They were referred to the Southeast Regional Crisis Center (SERCC) in Rochester.

Ciara’s parents felt hopeless, but quickly found hope when they walked through the doors of SERCC.

SERCC is a unique collaboration serving 10 counties in southeastern Minnesota, developed by county and community partners. Operated by Nexus Family Healing, SERCC provides 24/7 access to mental health care for children and adults experiencing a mental health crisis. This safe and welcoming environment provides immediate support from compassionate staff who are experts in crisis, trauma, and mental health care. No one is turned away based on inability to pay for services.

Ciara needed help in a crisis, and that’s why SERCC is here.

Ciara was feeling overwhelmed with her friends, boyfriend, her grades and her future. And with the pain of recently losing her grandma she was having a hard time coping with everything happening in her life.

She expressed being so overwhelmed she felt as though death would be easier than the life she was living.

The SERCC team assessed Ciara and determined it would be best for her to spend the night in the residential crisis unit to keep her safe and receive the professional support she needed. This also gave her parents a break while working with our team to develop a plan for Ciara’s outpatient care and treatment once she returned home.
