Dear all:
Just wanted to let you know about a "good news" event on 6 South this afternoon that was facilitated by 6 South staff with leadership and assistance from Sacred Walker, Pastoral Care Intern and M.M. Sr SW.
MJ missed her high school graduation yesterday.
Today, in the 1 South courtyard, we had a "graduation ceremony." Sacred Walker and MM helped coordinate with her family (mother and cousin) the event. The family brought in her diploma from the (her high school name) --they also had help from the pt's high school guidance counselor. Brother E provided the music, the patient selected 2 peer patients, she donned a cap and gown and did a minor processional while she enjoyed "Pomp and Circumstances" Dr. H (psychiatrist) and the PA student, also attended. The patient asked if she could bring the food and cake brought into the ceremony to share in the dining room with the rest of her peers.
At present, the entire unit has joined the pt and her family in celebration in the dining room.
Truly, a great day for all on our women's unit.
