After several years of trying to help our child we finally sent her to Provo Canyon School. For us it was the best decision we ever made. I am so sad to see that the majority of reviews here are people responding to the recent press instead of people who have actually been enrolled here.

The staff were wonderful, kind and still continue to support us. I am aware that there are facilities which could definitely use some examination, but I have never felt that way about Provo Canyon. My daughter never complained of any mistreatment and, in fact, was sad to leave her friends, therapist and staff. We actually went back 5 months after her discharge for a visit.

Please consider the damage done by second and third hand reviews of this school. You may cost wonderful people, who had NOTHING to do with the trauma caused in the past, their
livelihood.

***update- I have seen a couple of reviews which have accused me of being paid or posting a secondhand review since I wasn t the actual patient and I wanted to assure you that I have not received any compensation for my review and my child was upset that my comments were being questioned.

This was the third residential facility that my daughter lived in. We reside in Virginia and needed a location that was not limited to the DBT model of therapy. She blossomed under their more spontaneous therapeutic model and was able to receive treatment in an significantly more individualized approach. She has not needed to return to residential since being there because she received more meaningful results.

I understand that some previous patients had bad experiences, and we have had some at other locations, but this facility is currently not even remotely the monster it is being made out to be. Everyone is there for a reason, so perhaps that should be considered when reading the patient reviews.
