Throughout the week patients and staff come together at therapeutic meetings to discuss matters affecting their treatment and life at Rye.

Meetings devoted to planning activities are held once a week, led by staff and patients chosen by their peers to serve as their leaders in the Rye Hospital Center community.

    
In addition, there are a number of patient committees in which to discuss and offer suggestions concerning food, recreation and various aspects of treatment plans.
   
At Rye, it’s important for patients to have a say in things. It is largely through such participation, and the opportunity for self-expression, that emotional recovery begins.
