Concerns About Leadership and Organizational Culture at Turning Point Behavioral Health”<br><br>Turning Point Behavioral Health has an important mission and provides critical services to the community, particularly through programs like The Living Room. However, recent observations raise serious concerns about the leadership and internal culture within this department, which may affect the organization’s ability to fulfill its mission effectively.<br><br>1. Leadership Challenges<br> • Lack of Accountability:<br>Leadership within The Living Room has demonstrated a pattern of poor decision-making and avoidance of responsibility. Instead of addressing systemic issues, there is a tendency to deflect blame, creating an unstable and counterproductive environment.<br> • Concerns About Retaliatory Practices:<br>Reports indicate that individuals who raise legitimate concerns or suggestions for improvement often face punitive actions, which suppresses transparency and stifles organizational growth.<br><br>2. High Turnover and Staff Burnout<br> • Frequent Staff Departures:<br>Over the past several months, multiple staff members have reportedly left due to an unsupportive work environment. High turnover disrupts continuity of care for clients and increases costs associated with recruitment and training.<br> • Unsustainable Culture:<br>Leadership’s inability to foster a healthy and collaborative workplace has led to burnout among remaining staff, further impacting program delivery and client outcomes.<br><br>3. Equity and Inclusivity Concerns<br> • Lack of Inclusivity:<br>There are troubling patterns of favoritism and discriminatory practices that appear to go unaddressed by leadership. This behavior undermines the organization’s commitment to equity and inclusivity, key values for a nonprofit serving diverse populations.<br> • Inadequate Internal Growth Opportunities:<br>Despite the organization’s potential, leadership reportedly fails to support staff development or promote from within, leaving talented professionals with no room for advancement.<br><br>4. Potential Risks to Donor Investments<br> • Impact on Client Care:<br>The internal challenges, particularly within The Living Room, may compromise the quality of care provided to clients. Donors should consider whether their contributions are being used to support an environment that fully reflects the values of the nonprofit sector.<br> • Reputational Concerns:<br>Public reviews on platforms like Indeed and Glassdoor, as well as reports of staff dissatisfaction, could affect the organization’s reputation and credibility in the long term.<br><br>Final Thoughts<br><br>Turning Point Behavioral Health serves a critical need in the community, but its current leadership and internal culture may hinder its ability to maximize its impact. Donors are encouraged to inquire further into the organization’s leadership practices, staff turnover rates, and workplace culture before making contributions.<br><br>The organization’s mission is vital, but systemic changes in leadership and culture are necessary in the Living Room program to ensure that it can achieve its goals sustainably and equitably.<br>

Wesley Family Services recently determined that a child involved in an extremely contentious custody case NOT receive counseling despite a PCP recommendation that the child would benefit from counseling BOTH before and after they completed their assessment. The assessment was done by a therapist and her supervisor. <br> <br>There are MANY concerning issues in this case that were not accurately reported in the assessment. <br> <br>The father has a now adult daughter who was cutting, engaged in delinquency, drug use and was even reported by the news as missing. There are allegations that he coerced her into sleeping in bed with him as a child. Father is now doing the same thing to the subject child in this case and despite the supervisor admitting to mom that the child admitted to her that he disclosed sleeping in Father’s bed “with the dog” they still refuse to provide services to the child. <br> <br>Father is into questionable images and has “couple pics” of 6 and 7 year old children on HIS bedroom mirror. Apparently Wesley Family Services thinks this is ok as they were shown these photos as well. <br> <br>Interestingly, there were blatant lies told by the custody evaluator and GAL during the custody proceedings. They reported that there were no safety concerns in Father’s home. It has since been proven that there is BLACK MOLD and also another TOXIC mold present that the child has been proven to be allergic to. <br> <br>Mother provided dated photos of the child’s bloody toenails that he chews as well as photos of him clearly showing anxiety in the meat section of a grocery store. <br> <br>The child drew the attached drawing soon after Father listed him as a witness in his pretrial statement and he was stuttering. He told Mom that his Father was acting like his former, married girlfriend who has been on Suboxone for years and whose own son filed a PFA against her. Mom asked the child what he meant by that and if it would be easier to draw since he was having a hard time verbalizing what happened. <br> <br>The assessment reflects many inaccuracies regarding what Mom reported. Apparently the therapist wasn’t even listening and is clearly incompetent. <br> <br>The Father is so resistant to transparency that he filed a “private dependency petition” and asked the state to take custody of the child shortly after Mom’s custody was restored. (He gave the child his inhaler on the way to a Pulmonary Function Test in order to skew the results.) <br> <br>Wesley family services “brokers” aka pimps out foster parents and makes a considerable amount of money doing so. Custody evaluators are the linchpins that courts rely on when terminating parental rights. When that happens a lot of money changes hands due to title IV funding and adoption incentives. <br> <br>Recently a Termination of Parental Rights appeal became public and the specific evaluator who ignored allegations of abuse in this particular case worked on that case with a representative from Wesley Family Services. <br> <br>It wouldn’t look too good for the custody evaluator if previously ignored allegations of abuse were to come to light now would it? <br> <br>Not only is Wesley Family Services incompetent it appears that they are possibly corrupt as well.
