Parents, listen to me when I say this: you will never forgive yourselves if you put your child here. I was there for 4 months and was supposed to be there for 6 months to a year. I was put down many times, the staff doesn't care about your well-being, and it's a residency that will scar you for life. My time there was nothing short of a nightmare. A nightmare I couldn't wake up from for 4 whole months. The staff constantly puts you down and doesn't help with anything. They just want to get paid. The kids are all struggling a... read more

I went here in 2002-2003. I was forcefully Baptized against my will, which was incongruous given my upbringing in a strictly Reformed Jewish family. Additionally, the sedation of kids my age (around 11) being forced into small padded rooms while the rest of us were on lock-down, was some of the scariest things I have ever seen.

I wish the best of a... read more

I had an in-school therapist through YBGR several years ago. He literally would not let me clear my mind during his sessions because I was "off topic", because I guess he wanted me to always think about the negative things that bug me in life. Then, they had a "summer program", where a good 50% of it was sitting in their office and playing board games as a group. Not so bad, right? Well, he wouldn't let us express ourselves (me and the other kids), unless it was completely clean. So we're basically being treated as kinderg... read more

I went to this place when I was about 17 so about 3 years ago. When I got there I had a bad cold and I told the staff but when I got to my lodge they treated me like a smoker because I had a sore throat and reprimanded me for using to many tissues. The second night I was there, there was a riot. For most of my stay there some of the staff genuinely wanted to help the kids. Although it seemed more of them liked the power they had over others. If one of the staff members didn't like you and they where close friends with one o... read more
