I was reading the notices and schedule posted on the outside window when Maurice held the front door open and invited me in. I got to speak with and be with a truly amazing, caring, " real", passionate and kindhearted lady, Judy Wolfe and I got her, I really got her purpose, her love, her drive and her genuine care. God Bless You Judy!! She shared with me how this center came about, their activities, their schedule, the set up and support and upcoming events. This Veteran Center provides avenues for counseling and support, legal and medical services, transportation, education, financial guidance, special services, media, employment and housing assistance and a " buddy" system. I mentioned that my wife is also an MSW and a social worker who did work at the VA assisting veterans. The Santa Clarita Veteran Services center is a non profit community service establishment located in a tiny shopping center( dry cleaner. print shop) on the south side of Lyons just past Orchard Village Rd heading towards Railroad Ave. Veterans Day is in about 9 weeks. It was an honor to serve my great country and an honor to serve and help any which way I can at the Santa Clarita Veteran Services Center!

I have a daughter with Special Needs and have found the staff to be manipulative, dishonest, unkind and disrespectful. You are told to "submit invoices and they will reimburse you for activiites." However, what you find after waiting a year for reimbursement that either 1. The person who told you this is "gone" and their email has been wiped clean; 2. Oh! Who told you THAT? 3. I have no idea what you are talking about? 3. " You sent me something that is a. Blurry and can't read it, b. Something that won't open {although last week you could} c. Maybe you need to talk to someone else...goes on and on..OR, you can talk to MIJI! Who?? So, then you find out through the Operator who this is and, "oh, no, we can't possibly pay those invoices {even though they were approved multiple times}, as "we just can't do that." It goes on and on. Print and save your emails. Maybe I'll start recording my conversations just to make me feel better. If you have a child or adult in Regional Center, become the squeeky wheel and acknowledge the reality of the situation. I believe, eventually, it will end. I do wonder where they find these people

However, my years as a member here I have seen a shift in culture at this organization. Some workers and volunteers are extremely unprofessional , disrespectful and choose fraternizing with certain members over nurturing a sense of inclusion with the community they serve. Members access to any support or services including your donations are deeply dependent on who they befriend. Safety /privacy preferences are not respected and will be ignored if members want any support or access.

This was a long time ago, but I had a pregnancy scare and went to this place after finding it…read moreonline. It used to be located near city hall if I recall, and I remember the office had a warm ambiance and the lady who checked me in was so kind. I felt less scared in the waiting room, as the surroundings were very comforting. I was in my early 20s and in an abusive relationship, with no support at home. I was under the impression that this clinic would provide me with testing and maybe a referral for an abortion, or the procedure itself, if I needed one. Nothing on their website at the time notified me that this clinic is in fact run by a local church. Two nurses took my test and asked me a series of invasive questions about my sexual activity and my plan if I were to test positive. I thought it was strange as again, I had no idea this was an anti-choice clinic. It was apparent these women were alarmed that I had many sexual partners up until that point, and that I would in fact want an abortion if I was pregnant. They were openly disgusted with my lifestyle choices and urged me to reconsider my options. I was shocked, because I had sought reproductive health assistance (for birth control) at COC before and the nurses there were nothing but kind and treated sex like a normal part of being human. I didn't know there were healthcare practitioners who let their religious beliefs supersede their Hippocratic oath. That is to say, YES, these types of clinics are harmful to the health and safety of communities! I wound up testing negative for pregnancy but again, if I listened to these women I would have been tied to an abusive man for life and all my plans would have went out the window at 21. I can't believe places like these are allowed to run and don't have to pay taxes. They are a tax free way of converting women in their most vulnerable situations, without them ever having to set foot in a church. Unbelievable. Shame on all crisis pregnancy centers in the US, especially now that Roe vs. Wade has been repealed. If you are seeking a nonjudgmental agenda free clinic, DO NOT COME HERE!
