Life Works Austin Reviews

First came into this place(ged program) when i was just a Teen, at 17yrs old..I would come & go of course..until i finally got into my 20s, i thought to myself, only 4 days out of the week AND only 4 hours, i HAVE to finish. And still everytime i would come back they were always more than welcoming..But still even if u can t make it even for those 4days, they are very understanding about your at home problems and try to work with you, they really do want you to succeed.. it took me a while, but I DID IT! And i couldn t be more thankful for all the support that i got from LifeWorks from every staff member..to the ones i known since I ve gone there, and to the ones there now..I am now 21 going on 22 in college, and in just a few more months I ll be where i never thought i would see myself being (: they re pretty amazing you guys.. So once again, I just want to say thank you Lifeworks for never giving up on me! You guys will forever have a good word out here from me.

I don't understand the system I explained everything to my daughters therapist that's happening and from where it has been coming from, then she (anita) goes to the other Non-custodial parent and told them everything I just said knowing I just said she Is a narcissistic parent.

They don t work with you. They are highly unprofessional. You ask for their help and they turn you down. I would recommend another agency . I ve dealt with this agency for a couple years and they are not very understanding. I had a major death in my family and also had some circumstances during COVID-19 and basically wouldn t help me. All im saying is a sincere agency would be there to help its people in any given situation especially during this national pandemic we re in. Its very disheartening

Literally a scam taking the money of homeless youth and not supplying long term options. (Rude, judgemental, not very friendly towards diversity.)

Literally no help at all. I have called several times for intake and the only answer I get is that "they are busy". Absolutely absurd that this place is used as a resource for services, but it is this complicated to even get the intake process started. I called back within minutes of receiving an email from intake, Dwan, and was told intake was busy and couldn't take my call. I couldn't even get a general question answered by the receptionist, because the intake dept....which is 'always busy', had to answer the question.

This is the most unprofessional waste of time I ve ever experienced. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Every time you speak with anyone at life works the television or radio is blasting in the background. Completely unprofessional and the exact opposite of what I had hoped for in a therapist.

Didnt hang up and told me where to go. Those who talk bad about programs are usually those who dont want to change

I believe that their website is a peace of crap, but the services they provide are enough to barely make a living and if you are in need of help the system seems to take its sweet time to help you, however, they will try their best, since the organization is non-profit, do not expect average-sped customer care, but expect the fastest result these types of organizations can do in which can be frustrating due to the "non-profit organization's" dire need of "sufficient public funding" in order to maintain their efficiency. After all your in Austin, Texas, a place nearly barely affordable to anyone who is below average and nearly at the very sources of no income, to be in no way able to provide even at least a 10-13$ donation. Also the average who can barely survive due to the brutality of a Texans harsh expensive economy, high rents, bills, etc. to be the main reason that even they may be reluctant to spear at least $20 to the organization to run; in which is because imagine how worried one who has a house is to loose it, and many more outrageous economic laws and regulations within Austin, Texas is in favor to abolish the average class and lesser classes ability to live so that the less fortunate and the Average will disappear or be forced to do so. This is the goal of Texas; "Create a strictly rich-bound, and Above average-bound economic state to make the state grow to become less required to provide as much services in favor to sustain those in need." Life works is trying to help you pretty much, survive as you can, in order to eventually make you progress to be self-sufficient, and be able to get safe placement if your in crisis. This is why the state makes it barely able to provide all things.
