"Mixed Experience but Still Positive"

Our son has had a mixed experience at The Linden Centre, with some days feeling more positive than others. While the staff is generally supportive and caring, we've experienced some inconsistencies in their approach. That being said, we appreciate the centre's commitment to SEMH-focused support and believe it has helped our son in some ways.
