My daughter lived here for a year after having been in and out of multiple psych facilities the…read moreentire year prior. It was the only place that actually helped us. Tiffany was our family counselor and she was absolutely amazing. Experienced, savvy, patient. We really needed that. The weekly virtual parent groups weren't just about commiserating, like so many other facilities who don't quite know how to help parents. They were informative and helpful, led by Jenn who is also wonderful. Elevations has a strong focus on the entire family, not just the kid and that's really the key. We aren't sending our kids away because they are "bad", the whole family system needs a reset and it is just as much the parents' responsibility to grow and change as it is our kids. Any parent who thinks their kid's behavior is solely their doing and problem is a big part of the problem. The parent retreats were WONDERFUL! I participated in every one of them. It's such a difficult decision to put your child in treatment and it is not an easy thing to go through. However, I want anyone reading this to know that there is hope on the other side of you ALL put in the work and if you have the right help. We found Elevations through an educational consultant, which I HIGHLY recommend getting. As parents, we're navigating blindly in a crisis state and need help. If you've found Elevations though, lucky you! This is a good place. I spoke to many other parents going through the program who'd wished they'd found this place first. Thank you, Elevations.

Please look into the crooked history behind "Island View RTC" being shut down for systematic child…read moreabuse and being at fault for the suicide of a teenage boy. They were then being immediately rebranded and reopened by different parent company into "Elevations RTC". It is genuinely evil. They retained over 60% of the original employees, kept the entire program, and launched a smear campaign against survivors threatening them with legal action for speaking out. All in the pursuit of shareholder profit. It goes without saying but most of these survivors are still struggling mentally, financially, and emotionally. Me personally, I have been clinically diagnosed with CPTSD from my time in this facility. I have dealt with survivors guilt over the years as I felt for years like I got out less damaged than many of my peers. I was told that if I lead tours of the facility to parents looking to send their children to Elevations and said good things about the program that I would be released earlier. I was manipulated into becoming a walking advertisement for this facility. When I got out I felt so much guilt about my role, I briefly contemplated suicide. The far majority of the program leaders are very vocal about claiming to be devout members of the LDS church, however the actions of them display contempt and disgust towards the struggling children they claim to champion. They follow virtually none of the teachings of the religion they are so outspoken about believing in. It is all performative. Behind the smoke and mirrors this is one large money grab exploiting some of the most vulnerable members of society. Jennifer Wilde, Judi Jacques, Laura Burt, and all those responsible have blood on their hands. I feel an obligation to speak out about this barbaric system as several of my friends I attended with are no longer alive today to share their stories. I have faith that one day this facility will close as it is rapidly losing money and attendance rates are plummeting however I remain pessimistic that any of those responsible will ever face justice here on earth.

First I'll start off with, I was legally kidnapped and spent 16 hours in a van driving to this…read morefacility. Where I was threatened to be handcuffed to the car seat if I did not cooperate. Second off, this facility does NOT check belongings. At least when I went they sure didn't. I had over 100 razor blades in my belongings. They simply opened my suitcase, looked, and said "you're good". I had cut my leg open once. Needing stitches. I was then refused medical attention, I even gave my 1:1 sitter the razor blade and she scoffed and laughed at the wound. I only received medical attention and stitches after I cut my leg open a second time, even deeper this time. You'd think after doing this they'd search the room, belongings, everything, well they did. And did extremely poorly at that. I was so desperate to escape this facility I had swallowed 4 razor blades that they did not confiscated in order to leave. Mind you, I was still on a 1:1 sitter, meaning a staff member watched me swallow a razor blade. He didn't report it either until I went to nursing and told them I had swallowed razors. And even then they scoffed and chuckled at the idea. It's funny how they claim to accommodate disabilities, yet forced me to write as a communication method. I have mutism. I cannot speak. I was PROMISED I'd be allowed a communication device (a device I can text to speak on). When I arrived they took my speaking device away, and gave me a white board, that they would take anytime I "spoke poorly". Aka quite literally taking away my ability to communicate. They illegally denied my task trained service dog to come with me. Yet allow staff to bring their untrained pet dogs to this facility, who on my first day there, got in a huge fight in the middle of the corridors. I came out of this facility more traumatized, more "broken" than when I went in. I fully realized no one gives a fuck, and these people do anything in their power to get money by preying on families desperate for help. You will destroy your child by sending them here. I literally would rather of died, a horrific painful death. Then of spent another minute at this facility. I am absolutely disgusted this place has remained open for so long. If you are knowingly sending your child here, I PRAY they never have contact with you again. This place is so ungodly abusive it's not even funny.

I went here about three years back and looking through my journey from boarding school to boarding…read moreschool, Aspen was one of my favorite places to be. Sure it's just a temporary home while they try to figure out where the best place to send you is, but the staff were all super kind and caring. I don't think there was one time when one of the staff wouldn't sit and join us in a game of Monopoly or try to help us out when we needed it. Don't get me wrong, they're not total push overs and the rules are enforced here but Aspen really worked with me and tried to make my stay seem less torturous compared to where I had been before. I remember my counselor, Lexi, she was amazing and I could not have felt anymore comfortable when talking to her, and I was able to send letters frequently between my parents and I. I'm not all for sending your child to boarding schools (it is traumatizing, but I also understand that sometimes it is necessary if the parent does not have the right tools to help their child anymore), but if you don't know what to do or what steps to take I would certainly recommend Aspen as a temporary placement. Your child will be confused and probably hurt but they will be talked through everything with the counselor, treated WELL by the staff, given privileges to play in the gym and outside, given opportunities to earn more games or playtime, and my main thing is that your child will just be treated well. It's hard for a kid to be sent away and Aspen makes them feel welcome. And I guess a huge point is that my counselor was able to find a terrific school to send me to that fit my parents budget. Ok! I think I've written enough, if you have any questions feel free to message me(:
