i unfortunately had to stay here on more than one occasion from ages 11-14 and i can tell you, it s definitely not the place you want your child to be. for starters, i only saw a psychiatrist maybe once (if i was lucky) and he was very quick to just put me onto random medications, and even quicker to diagnose me with mental illnesses that i never had to begin with. if a therapist visited me (looking back at it i never met a single one of them), they would ve known that i suffer(ed) from complex PTSD, and nothing more. being labeled with heavy mental illnesses that again, were never actually there, really weighed on me and made my suicidal behaviors worse. they would release me when i was nowhere near stable enough to go home, and i would just keep coming back on almost a weekly basis. not blaming them for my actions that got me there, because i know my past and i am a COMPLETELY different woman now, but i wish they would ve cared more. the schooling is a complete joke.. that s all i have to say there. in 2015 (and the last time i stayed there), my mom actually ended up filing a lawsuit against this facility for lack of care. i had broken my knuckles during a PTSD panic attack, and they had never told my parents what had happened. with all the negativity i ve mentioned, there were a few techs there that were kind and supportive and made me feel like someone cared. again, i don t blame peak view for my multiple suicide attempts or any other behaviors that landed me there.. i blame them for their lack of care and empathy they had during my stay(s). this place is my motivation to remain strong and collected as i go through my life. i was told in 2015 that i would die before my 15th birthday and here i am.. 4 years later being stronger than ever, informing other parents about the hell hole the state of colorado calls peak view behavioral health.
