This place is terrible, I was treated terribly while being “treated” here. There are no groups, sometimes they’ll take you outside for five minutes but they’ll stay on their phones the whole time not doing anything. I had a panic attack and asked to call my mom, they said no and told me my she was busy (she wasn’t). Then they put me in the calm down room and brought two men in there to watch me, even though it was supposed to be noted that I’m not comfortable being alone with males. When I was crying one of the staff members named Mrs.Tina stared down at me and told me to be shut up because they could here me down the hall, even though they were literally 10 steps away from me. I threw up on my floor and they ignored me all night even after I told them about it, the morning after they gave me a roll of paper towels and told me to pick it up. A few hours later I was reading during quiet time and I looked out my window to see a man touching himself no more than 10 feet away from me! They told me they were going to do something about it but never did. Later that night a male staff member got into a PHYSICAL FIGHT with a little girl because they wouldn’t let her go to the calm down room. He started yelling and asking all the kids if he hit her, which he did and we all saw. My mom pulled me out a few hours after, and I was only in there for 1 night. Please do not send your kids here, me and my mom knew nothing before I came here. This place is a hell hole
Great place to play basketball on Sunday night in the FX sports league for man and they have women's game separate as well
I can’t get my sons name off of this google review, but my name is Lea Ann and my daughters name is Trinity. She has been to the crisis unit twice and the situations were obviously awful. The first time she went was the first time we ever sent her to anywhere away from our home. We were all traumatized and felt like we had no hope. Everyone that we spoke to and dealt with from admission to discharge was absolutely kind, attentive, and supportive of not only my daughter but also myself. It’s the scariest thing to do to let your child who is struggling and already having issues to be left with complete strangers. They don’t make these kids feel like that. They make them feel worthy of care and attention and like family.
i was in the crisis stabilization unit for two weeks, and it disappointed me. my family also agrees that it didn’t help me at all. the staff were very unprofessional— i was having anxiety going to the front with other kids so someone took me in a room with another staff, then one staff laughed about it and said that the person who was watching me should have said no. this same staff also went out of their way to tell another child that one of the kids was doing too much and overreacting when they were upset about someone leaving. the groups were not helpful. they also gave me my school work with staples and paperclips still attached, which could literally be used to harm yourself. there was very easy access to those things. don’t take your kids here, coming from another kid, if you choose to go to any hospital choose vtcc (virginia treatment center for children) its really nice there, the staff is good, and the therapy groups are actually helpful.
Unfortunately, my child was abused by the staff but the school coerced witnesses into finding a consistent story that noted otherwise. I wouldn't feel safe leaving my child, regardless of the service offered, with this provider/school.
