CMHA Peel Branch Reviews

I've gone there a number of times looking for work but get ignored every time Fran and her associate was the worst

CMHA Peel does not listen to their clients. They decide themselves what the client needs. They do not take notes, resulting in the client having to repeat themselves and justify themselves repeatedly. CMHA Peel knows absolutely nothing about certain mental health conditions. If a client displays a symptom of their condition they are made to feel bad because the CMHA worker has absolutely no clue about the condition. CMHA Peel gives referrals to services that are not even being offered anymore, and to online services that result in abuse of the client. Michelle Lewis of CMHA Peel showed up late for every single meeting, and was a no show at times without notification. She literally smiled upon declining services. Very, very pathetic mental health organization.

Yet another so called mental health organization that only proves that pyschology, pharmacology, and social work are fraudulent practices that only seek to provide an acceptable outlet to enforce social control over poorer people, or simply those who are deemed insufferable misfits.
"The Cam H of brampton". When you find yourself reffered here do yourself a favor and ask yourself "Do I want to be marginalized and exploited by an agency that reinforces the stigma of mental illness, and is only successful in creating easy comfortable well paying jobs for people whom chose this career with fake sympathy or ignorance?".

I was never a client, however I do have a friend who was seeing someone from this association.
He advised me that his mental health nurse would drive him to various locations ( to get groceries/gym) when he did not have anything to discuss with her. I m unsure if that is allowed and would like to get a response back from someone in this organization.
At one point she mentioned that he does not require her assistance compared to her other clients who have more severe mental illnesses but also it s seems that she provokes him as she will continuously discuss the same stressful topics with him, which in return adds stress to my friends mental health because he begins to worry when he was doing fine. If you re suppose to be someone s mental health worker you are suppose to be healing them Mentally to improve their mood, mentality, emotions not make it worse.

I used to love going there and the activities they have there are plentiful and fun but mine and others experiences with the day staff have not been favorable. The evening drop-in staff are absolutely amazing though.

This place plays head games with people, they belittle clients and are a bunch of control freaks. Karen Hand is a demented person.

Id really have to say that Recovery West is by no means a Recovery. Id say it just adds more illness, pain, suffering, humiliation, makes people feel way worse then they were before they even started attending this power trip of a place. They dont care or listen to anyones issues There a bunch of glorified control freaks that belittle human beings to the point people just give up. Ive had friends give up on life and are no longer with us. So that should tell people the whole ball of wax or can of worms their getting themselves into. My oppinion, my advice, Stay away from this place!!
