One South: Portrait Of A Psych Unit

As young adults arrive at One South for their treatment, staff members rush to evaluate, stabilize, and support them. While patients attend group therapy sessions and daily one-on-ones with doctors, the staff also meet to support each other.

As treatment progresses, patients learn new coping skills to deal with their mental health issues and, when they are discharged, the staff continues to counsel them as they reassimilate to life outside One South.

This striking two-part HBO documentary takes a look at the short-term, in-patient young adult therapy unit at Zucker Hillside Hospital.
