Youth care helped me substantially, thanks to the staff! I made close connections there as well. HOWEVER If you are a parent looking to send your kid here PLEASE consider starting with a lower level of care or shorter term placement. This place while it can be helpful, is very restrictive and chaotic. My experience was constant fights, awol attempts, and stripped of many things. Again this can be helpful in some cases, and honestly in mine but if you don't believe your kid needs an ankle monitor or sensors in their rooms please reconsider. I love everyone at Youth Care with all my heart and am super grateful!! The team is very supportive and many staff did what they could to do nice things for the kids which I always appreciated.
Our 16 yo old daughter has been struggling with mood and anger regulation, anxiety and depression for many years and Youth Care is her 5th residential placement and by far it has been the most effective. The clinical and residential staff are knowledgeable, caring and very experienced dealing with kids who have been through a lot. The weekly parent/care giver support group is very helpful and supportive!
Our daughter has had a good experience at YouthCare. We have found the residential staff to be supportive and effective communicators. The clinical team is wonderful - in particualar Jonathan B. and Dr. Knight. They both have developed strong and supportive relationships with our daughter which has helped in her treatment. Would recommend YouthCare to anyone who has a child needing this level of care/treatment.
Youth care was a very positive 10month experience for our family. Therapist Jake was so impactful with my 15 yr old daughter. We will forever cherish the staff and time spent with Youth care and the growth our daughter made.
I want to speak to all the parents who believe that when our children make mistakes, they can never be the same again. I want you to look at these photos of Roberto, a boy who was programmed to be a champion since the womb but whose adolescence and life experiences led him to make his own decisions, though not always the right ones. With the help of Youth Care and the full support of my husband, his siblings, and myself, his mother, he was able to find himself again. ♥️ We are also deeply grateful to the other families who were going through the same struggles and, by sharing their stories, helped us support each other. Thanks to Youth Care’s guidance, our perseverance, and Roberto’s wise decision, he has now been able to change his life or maybe return to the one that was always there since the day he was born. Is it worth it? Absolutely, more than you can imagine. Take the step. For us, the greatest gift Youth Care gave us was communication. We didn’t have it at the beginning but we eventually found it and with it came real change. A piece of advice: when they call you for the enrollment process, ask to attend the therapy sessions, especially the group ones. I miss them deeply. Today we are happy. Roberto is back to his lifelong sport, back by his own choice after 15 years of life. ♥️
