This is coming from a teen who was in the crisis unit- its amazing. Ive been to many crisis stabilization units and Saint Josephs by far is the best. At other crisis units the staff just act like theyre your doctor you mostly just sit there and watch tv and the only thing the staff cares about is your meds. At Saint Josephs is was completely different. I bonded with the staff along with the other teenagers and children. The children and teens bonded too. The staff truly cares about how your feeling and how they can help they truly want whats best for the kid and they are the nicest most understanding people. Saint Josephs crisis unit actually helped me unlike other crisis units. I highly recommend this to a teenager in need of mental health help. These people are a blessing

Great work for children and people with special needs... if there are no other options left. However there is a serious problem with transphobia within not all mind you but a handful of staff members and social workers. Refused to use proper pronouns and constantly misgendering. So its okay to be a little different and receive services however if you are trans be weary of who you speak to about it you may or may not be subjected to emotional abuse. Ive also witnessed staff taking food from the pantry when it is supposed to be for clients in need. Its a service with good intentions but they struggle to keep bias and sketchy behavior out of the business. It is a religious based organization so be very careful if you choose to go to them for help.

We come here every year for their antique car show. Beautiful property with lots of shade trees.

Outstanding organization doing great work for children. Caring staff members who understand the needs of the children and clients. The Culinary Dept. also serves excellent nutritious meals way above and beyond any other school menu in the state. No child goes hungry at the Villa.

Unfortunately the staff doesnt supervise the students well enough to take them out in the community.

I personally know many of the staff. They are all hard workers. The things they have to deal with here are just not in our capacity. The campus is beautiful and the architecture is great. This place will be around for a long time helping Richmond with less fortunate individuals.
