Destroyed my life. Can't interact with normal every day situations well. I have constant crippling memories of the physical restraint done by 200-300 lbs adults to my 30 lbs 6yo bodie and after the restraint tactics failed I was locked in an concrete room until my body could beg for release no more.
I am very appreciative of the care my son received here. He did well every single day. The staff was very kind, supportive, and well informed of how to properly care for his special needs. He struggles in many environments, and finding a school that he likes and does well in is a rarity. We will be forever thankful to the staff and program here. Thank you!
We are new foster parents and we cannot recommend MSV enough. The Foster Care system can be a challenge to navigate, not only are you caring for a child/children but you also have the responsibilities of communicating with case workers, the GAL, birth parents, filling out forms, doctor visits and more. MSV helps you with all of that.
We also feel like we are part of a bigger community that shares resources, experiences and supports each other. If you are looking at fostering we strongly suggest giving them a call.
Imy son said it was the best school he went to and he loves lora Woodward
Their treatment follows the work of Bruce Perry (The Child Trauma Academy) and it really made a difference in our sons life and ours. But you need to know that kids there are high acuity. This is more of a last resort residential treatment facility. Also they are not too used to direct family involvement. Be sure you advocate for what your child needs and what your family needs. Equine therapy was great.
Mount St. Vincent home has a soft spot in my heart. I realized the other day when I was driving up there to make another donation that I have been working with this organization for over 35 years.
This establishment was originally started as an orphanage in 1883 by the Sisters of Charity. They really do help children in need, a safe place for them before they re adopted or just need a home. Some of the youth live there full-time. They reach out to help because of neglect, abuse, emotional and behavioral challenges, mental illness and abuse.
This incredible place is for foster care and treatment programs for children. They are always looking for volunteers for various things on their 16 acre campus.
I WOULD recommend this facility if you have any free time to volunteer or considering donating. Go online and look at their wish list.
Miss AmberLynn and Miss Rosemary have been nothing short of amazing when it comes to my son and his inhome therapy. We are very lucky to have them and all their support. They are always there to offer support not only when it comes to his therapy. But when we need a little extra help finding resources in order to help him in his road to getting better . I will always be grateful for these 2 wonderful ladies!! 5 stars does not do them justice!
Did nothing for my child. Did not even touch on the issues that got them sent their. Also made my child feel as if being transgender wasn't OK, not with words but with actions. Glad my child is home now. We will continue to try to find real help for them.
Im very impressed with the school and the teacher s they put in 110% to help the kids I didn t feel comfortable at first but they put my worries to rest quickly. Good Job! Our son has made huge strides since starting there in October. Even while being on remote learning his team has contacted him everyday even adjusted to make it easier all around.
We re moving just wanted to say MSV has been a blessing for our family the staff there are amazing I think back in my life I had a teacher who showed me he cared and was able to help me and I see my son can say he had a school full of teachers who cared for him I m sure he will remember all of them cause they were there for him sorry this is sounding corny but if you are thinking of sending your child to MSV rest assured the school is hard to beat. Thank you to clear creek county for pointing us in that direction.
Went here for 1.5 years. I dont remember much but very nostalgic looking back.
