Headquarters is a nonprofit counseling center that provides free counseling and crisis intervention…read moreto the residents of Lawrence (adults and children alike) and surrounding areas, including working the national suicide hot-line calls. They truly embrace a client-centered approach that values the worth of each person, and treat the volunteers who work long hours with nurturing consideration. It is a great environment to volunteer as well as a great resource to refer to people and/or utilize when in crisis. I regard this agency in the highest esteem possible.

I did enjoy the hot mocha. My friend got a burger and fries that looked really good and she did enjoy that. I also got a very large chocolate chip cookie which was meh. It was hard, as it was there for like 3 days. I'll pass on the cookies next time but plan to try their burgers. Stop in and have a beverage or see their merchandise and services they offer.

I've known about it for years and I love that I can call, or email them with questions when I find a wild animal in need of assistance. Most recently I found an injured baby squirrel while on a walk in my neighborhood. I emailed them and was advised to bring it in. I kept the squirrel as warm and as comfortable as I could overnight and then packed it up in a cat carrier and drove it out to Operation Wildlife's facility in Douglas County the next morning. If you have the means I encourage anyone and everyone to give to this place, and I say it even more now after seeing the building. 4/5 stars only because the man I encountered was honestly pretty rude to me and made me feel pretty bad about the situation, even though I had spent the better part of the previous 12 hours trying to save this little guy's life, and also because their facility just really needs some love, which I know is not their fault as I'm sure they operate on a very small budget. So in summary - this place does great work and likely doesn't have much of a choice in who they employ as it's volunteer run. If you have the means please donate to them so they can continue to service our region and help the wildlife in our neighborhoods.

I originally started with this company last year and had a fantastic experience, found a job…read morequickly and everything was great. However, that job didn't work out and when I worked with them again...2nd time around it was a nightmare. They went through new management and if I can give this company zero stars I would. AVOID AT ALL COSTS AS ITS NOTHING BUT A WASTE OF TIME. I got matched with April, who is also the "manager" of the company. You would think working directly with the manager that you would be in good hands- WRONG! I have been working with this company OVER 4 months, and only met TWICE! The first appointment was a nightmare as she did a no call no show, and then tried to call me the liar when I have email proof of the scheduled time/place that SHE suggested. As someone with a disability and a survivor of domestic violence it was extremely traumatic to have so one calling me and screaming at me calling me a liar despite the emailed proof. The 2nd appointment went okay...however we were scheduled for 1 hour, the same day/time every week and April the manager literally cancelled every single appointment...always the day of, literally 2 hours to 15 mins prior to the scheduled time we were supposed to meet. She never offered me another day to make up the missed appointment or offered to add extra time to our appointment scheduled. Not only did we only meet twice, I still don't even have an updated resume...she said she didn't know how to update my current one. She did make me a resume that looked absolutely horrible. My city was wrong, the dates of past employment was wrong, and all of the bullets did not live up. It looked like she just slipped it together, even my address was wrong! When I suggested to just use my resume that was made prior, she said she didn't know how to update that template and demanded that someone else help me with it. She didn't listen to me, and had zero communication with me. And the fact that she cancelled over 11 scheduled appointments was just a waste of time. Never an apology. I suggested that I have no problem meeting with another staff member from her team and she never even emailed me back. She was very rude, and literally hurt my feelings because of how disrespectful she was (as the manager) to put her other clients before me. Even the 2 times we DID meet, she was telling me that I "don't have to schedule another appointment". I don't even own a computer...I have been jobless since 8/1/24, and I also have a learning disability...I also have rent to pay for! Zero communication, completely disrespectful and violated my rights as a client that I had with "The Whole Person". She often would cancel and blame it on another client despite me communicating via email explaining to her that I really need her to start showing up for our scheduled appointments. April is extremely rude and unprofessional, it was a complete waste of time. I never been treated with so much disrespect from someone who is supposed to be representing an organization that works with people with disabilities. DO NOT USE THIS ORGANIZATION! No wonder my old job coach that I used last year left the company.

She never talked before the meeting or attempted to understand the background or needs of the child. She got on the zoom meeting and within 10 minutes she was having a full on conversation while her mic was on. She did not only not hear or help but she told her girl to call me afterwards. She said good news tgey gave you some options. I said the option they persented was to file a due process. She said well that's goid, right? I said they are going to sue me. She peoceeded to tell me even if she knew what she was doing, she would not be able to confront the school because they do business together. Disgusting!
