Not a good environment for troubled youth they will mislead you into believing you have time to work on yourself they will say they will help you but you will in fact be doing it alone another youth on site had a gun I tried to tell my coach I texted her before she went to her normal house to meet with me she never responded then when she was in trouble for not checking in with me she said her phone was broken I was afraid for my life half the time there that youth was having out burst and instead of them helping they left us and our children alone around that youth for days with no staff on site then the youth and his girlfriend refused to clean so we had to and nothing was done about this it was multiple issues with staff multiple issues of people spreading rumors including staff and specific staff members were mistreating other lower level staff members and would make inappropriate comments about her and it was even a situation where two staff members were heard saying horrible things about a entire house and the house director totally unprofessional a staff member DIED and other staff members made jokes about it when she was missing if it wasn’t for the youth that needed help i would say that place should be shut down instead i will say INVESTIGATE THEM ALL INCLUDING THE BIG FAT ONE SHE IS THE MOST INAPPROPRIATE WITH OTHER STAFF
They have been very rude and disrespectful due to personal issues with family and health disregarded the fact I was in the ER and said it was only a quick type of recovery.
I am supposed to still be relaxing from the ER visit.
after said ER visit was very rough on me and my mental health.
Being that I am not ok with loud noises and can get easily panicked into anger and or sadness being pushed over my limits and told to do things I've never done in my life.
Don't explain anything.
Just says few words and move on. Some like me don't understand easily and they Don't wanna repeat cause then I'll be talked down to by couches (staff) due to my slow progressing disorders.
I wish I could have said something more positive but they haven't helped,only made my life more stressful. It's hard to work with people who can't understand and help me.
I am an lgbt youth and was a resident, I left voluntarily and i loved it for the first few months but the more I realized how unorganized everyone was the worst my experience is and was, coaches (staff) doesnt realize we hav lives with family for the residents who do, their job is to help us be put in the right direction for success BUT because of "rules" it made paying for transportation for work next to impossible, we put 75% of checks or ANY income away in a savings thing but when we need gas or transportation its next to impossible to get it (includes issues with phone bills and anything else, I hav issues with multiple staff with my stay and so did 5 of the other residents, it only seems like they care about helping if we follow their exact plan BUT they also act like they know everything about me and the work i am trying to do which a common person doesnt know a lot about, residents are amazing but staff is HORRIBLE AND NOT UNDERSTANDING
