My daughter spent about six weeks in the PHP program. She was actually worse after her time there than she was before she started. The facility is extremely poorly run. It’s disorganized and chaotic. There is little to zero follow through on anything. It takes anywhere from a week to never to get anything done. Communication is poor, especially with the psychiatrist. The staff are inexperienced. Parent training is literally being stuck in a room watching a 40 year old video with the program director intermittently reading fr... read more
My 14 yr old daughter had a bad experience with the PHP (partial hospitalization day program). She felt unsafe to share and process her thoughts and feelings.

She shared that one of the kids made a gun out of a fidget gadget and poin... read more

I started to have an anxiety attack and stepped outside. When I called to explain and asked if someone could help show me where to go nobody came to help me with intake. I called again and I ... read more
I was there in the early days of quarantine/ZOOM so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I hated this program with all of my being while I was in it. Ella the therapist was unhelpful and I dropped the program because I felt like she was pressuring me into doing things that I had stated I was uncomfortable with. Everyone there seemed super happy though, especially the kids who had known each other before quarantine. I just didn't mesh well with them and I felt left out.
