Gave me more trauma. I still have nightmares about waking up in that place. The staff are completely unqualified and half of them are just as abusive as the other residents. They place is dirty and disgusting. The food would sometimes be spoiled, and the bathrooms were sooo much worse. The shower curtains had mold on them. The staff would bully residents, and would allow some of them to beat on others. For instance, I saw girls be straight up beaten for smelling bad, and a specific staff would go on how her "pussy stank". Would also call them fat, ugly, stupid, annoying, and various other things on a daily basis. Staff would tell terrified, crying residents to go back to their rooms, even when they watched those kids get beat in their own beds. Shoes, books, water, food and other things would be thrown on residents daily and staff would even laugh at it. They would bully kids for self harming and yell at them for suicide attempts. I personally spent all my 1 1/2 years there using my therapy to process the trauma I was receiving from the unit. There was constant violence and horrible conditions. The place should be shut down. This place gave me more problems than I ever had before it, and now I can't even sleep in a room comfortably if someone else is there, also scared someone will attack me in my sleep, and knowing that the staff never once helped me. If you are unlucky enough to get sent to this place, please be careful that the staff like you, or they will let you be hurt, abused and traumatized, and will even do it themselves. Caseworkers and parents, if you love your child even a little bit, don't send them here. Get them real help. Please don't make them go through this. This place should be shut down. read more

2022-2023 i was admitted into this facility, it was only meant to be 30 days but they had to keep me longer than a year due to the delay of finding a foster home for me! in my time being in this facility, i was neglected, ignored, and assaulted by multiple patients at the facility. i have never been so afraid of going to sleep, because i was scared i was going to wake up to someone jumping me! i once witnessed one patient stomp on another girl's head and she had to get stitches! this facility is a danger to kids mental health and self esteem, this facility does not provide any real support to the children that are admitted. all this facility does is put your kid into defence mode and make them scared. not a single staff member is qualified to handle your children, all they do is scare them enough to cooperate with them, the children in this facility are great kids, if you want to help your children then you need to talk to them and see if there alright and put yourself in their perspective and see where their coming from. this facility has traumatized me to where i have serious issues when it comes to men with higher authority. all this facility does is treat us like an experiment in a lab for them to fix! please consider my argument! read more

Do not send your child here. Staff is not qualified and will not tend to your child's needs. Kids are mistreated by workers (pushed to fight other patients, neglected, made fun of) Only slightly decent aspect was the school, inside the facility itself was a living hell. I have genuine flashbacks to nights in this place. I was terrified. Find a better facility that will treat your kid as a human, and not as just another problem. read more
