Success Story <br />Amelia said that while she was reviewing mental health client satisfaction <br />surveys she noticed a common thread among clients indicating their <br />appreciation of the extra level of support they received from front desk <br />staff and how their demeanor made coming in for therapy much easier for <br />them. She also acknowledged Roberta for assisting a NETS youth who <br />had been dropped off at NYFS too early and was displaying some signs of <br />anxiety over the situation. She reassured him that she would wait with him <br />in the reception area until a NETS staff member was able to assist him.
