I went to Young Women’s Empowerment last year in February because of my behaviors and drug use. Young Women’s helped me become a better person for myself and others around me, the facility also taught me to keep looking for good things in life and to never give up . I was there for 10 months and I had my ups and downs. I can say that the staff at Young Women’s Empowerment was always there for me when I needed them. The life skills (groups) taught me how to cope in healthy ways when stressed, angry, overwhelmed etc. By the ti... read more

I was here in 2018. To begin, there were a few staff that were so kind. Alison was one of them. She took the time to make meals from scratch for us. Along with Kandice. But, I still can’t understand WHY I was put here. I kept running from foster homes, FOR A REASON, I had no food or basic hygiene needs. And instead of asking why or listening to me when I tried telling my caseworker BEFORE running away, they just threw me in DT until a spot opened up here at YWEC. My first day there I watched a girl throw a table at another g... read more

The made us raise a lamb, didn’t tell us what they were going to do with it, let us get attached to the lamb, name the lamb, bottle feed the lamb. One day Lulu the lamb disappears, we get told she’s getting vaccines at the vet. 3 days later mystery meat is in the table. They refuse to tell use what it is until we all take a bite of mystery meat. The mystery meat was Lulu the lamb. I’m so serious I am NOT lying right now. That’s the type of mind games they play with CHILDREN.

I was court ordered and forced back in 2007 as a minor. No behavioral or substance use counseling was provided throughout the 3 to 4 months while being enrolled in their program and under their custody. Even though, that was the reason I was court ordered, was for a behavioral program. Counselors would triangulate clients against each other, and shame you for the reason as to how you ended up there in the first place. Girls would get sick or physical ailments and would be ignored until they literally could physically not mov... read more

Was here for 6 months back around 2007. My parents were informed this was a horse therapy program. Infact, we were not around horses, not once did we do anything with a horse. My "therapist" would often be texting people or leave the room to make phone calls. I had a man watch me urinate for a drug test once. Another time the old lady Lorna gave a girl the wrong medications, even though the patient was insistent those were not her drugs. We spent 6 months cleaning trash on the side of the road, did some landscape work at the... read more
