St. Vincent Family Services

If I could give zero stars I would. My stepdaughter has been going there for 7mo and keeps being put in restraints meaning people are holding her down. Putting pressure points on her all. She has been coming home now for the last month with bruises and scratch marks. DO NOT let your kids go there..she comes home crying and more Agitated then when she went in.

Very unprofessional place if you have a child that deals with depression DO NOT send them here. They insulted my little brother to my mother saying he should be locked up somewhere and that they are not equipped to handle him. No one deserves that amount of ignorance coming from people who are supposed to help children with issues.

I went here as a kid and it was horrible they made me use the restroom on my self in the middle of the hallway restrained me very roughly when ever the guys felt the need. Its not a place to help your children it ruins them mentally.

They have a very strict attendance policy...Sick or not you better show up...During our short time there My Son got sick with covid and pink eye in which we had to cancel..Thats 2 cancelations against us...The 3rd one was canceled by them and they still held it against...The stress became too much so I removed him from their program...I do not recommend them ..If they cared so much about children a call off for an illness shouldnt be held against them when they obviously need help...

Went here as a kid and cant count how many times I was abused by staff or staff allowed children to abuse other children or myself after they or I had been manhandled into a restraint and slammed on the floor face first or putting my arm behind back so far up it was excruciating and felt like it was breaking dont forget the pinch on the pressure point to make me submit.Remember picking me up by my neck STACY and slamming me against the wall all because I called you a name. I was a minor dude a little freaking kid.How many bruises and bloody noses I had because of this place. I had to freaking live here too. Hannah Neil wasnt much better.I Cant pinpoint why or how I developed it but Im sure youre partly responsible for my Borderline personality disorder.Look me up St. Vincent if you dont believe me Mark Eugene Akers Jr.

As a child I went here and saw some unbelievable stuff they couldnt restrain me because of major health issues they went as far as restraining a kid infront of me this kid had to be 11-13 they had like 6 big guys restraining him I would not recommend this place to anyone. If you dont do what youre told and act right you either get restrained or locked in a room with nothing. My brother was also one of these kids that experienced it and also my fiance of 23 years.

First I want to say about 4 years ago they were amazing..... Now my son experienced a panic attack foaming at the mouth at the age of 7 I was 30 minutes away and expressed that I wanted them to call 911 Katlyn told me she would have to call me back about the process of calling 911 I get there my son is foaming out the mouth screaming I found my son from his cries Im yelling at them why didnt you call 911 so Im in the process of sewing them thanks to Maria his CFI worker she helped make my decision and Joanne Engles the doctor needs to be fired

Terrible the person they sent to my home did a no call no show 3 times. She also kept pushing to see my kid at school when she has an iep already and is taken out of the classroom enough she also never communicated to me on a behavioral plan and Im still stuck its been 3 maybe 4 weeks since my child has seen her and she has not said anything about stopping services this place is very unprofessional and I will never recommend them again back to searching for a special list that can help me because st. Vincent is not the answer. If youre comfortable with constant call offs or no shows and not being involved with the plan this is the place for you

Let me take you back to the end of 2012 when I was in my third foster home and my caseworker decided to put me here. I was only 8. I was surrounded by kids with serious issues. The staff members were horrible. There was one lady by the name of mrs Kim she was constantly putting her hands on us and threatening us. And Ms Paulette Jackson she got off on restraining people. Edph was a weird experience and I hated it so much. I loved my therapist I think her name was mrs brianna skidmore. Also the basement where the edph classes were held was haunted.

We love the community based services. We love that they go to schools and homes to work with kids instead of having to take them to the office. They helped my sons behavior and he hasnt been kicked out of school since.
