‘If it were not for Rogers, I would not be here today’: Former Philadelphia patient shares her story of finding hope

Many people who struggle with mental health challenges also struggle to find the right treatment. Recently, a former Philadelphia patient shared how Rogers helped her find her path to recovery.

“My life prior to Rogers had me walking a precarious line between life and death. I was stuck in a mind that I was no longer in control of. I was in a constant state of fight or flight and was entirely out of control. If it were not for Rogers, I would not be here today. I would not have made it out of last year if I had continued the path I was on.

“In August of 2025, I made a poor and impulsive decision to attempt to end my life. The mental health care in my home state is terrible at best. It was a miracle that I found Rogers and had the support and resources to be able to attend.

“The fact that my story can and will continue is attributed mostly to the support I received from my therapist, Eric, and the staff at the Philadelphia location. Eric advocated for me, trusted me, and believed in me when no one else did, even myself. Rogers, and specifically Eric, made my last chance at recovery worthwhile.

“Rogers honestly saved my life. I cannot thank your organization enough for the support and care I received.”
