I have been a resident for 9 months now. I honestly do not understand the other negative reviews. The staff here have been nothing but supportive and kind, and have helped me through my mental health recovery tremendously. I don't know where i would be if it wasn't for peel youth village. I would recomend this place to anyone struggling with homelessness, addiction, or mental health.
They open your door and walk in everyday, for multiple random things. They also leave your door UNLOCKED allowing other residents to enter & steal things when you're not at home (Which has happened before!) I'd only recommend this place if you truly cannot find other housing. It doesn't feel like a home at all with the intense rules and lack of compassion for what happens to people. The place seriously treats you badly because they "know you have no where else to go".
PYV held group meetings every month where like 80% of residents complained about the staff being unprofessional. The workers also had ZERO knowledge of addiction issues or mental health. They literally know nothing and just spew so much stigma about serious issues.
Staff is ghetto and highly un-trained. I came here for a mental health recovery and they made my health so much worse!! I should have believed my psychiatrist** when he said that this place is known for not helping with mental illness. So why false advertise as a "mental health friendly place" when you guys mistreat those with mental illness on the daily?
This place promises health and education and barely provides the minimum required. Of the 24 staff, 5 are good at their jobs. Rules mean nothing here as they are arbitrarily enforced. Residents are both bullied and oppressed by power-tripping tyrants in the guise of professionals. Services and facilities are old, dirty and broken.
It's a great place if you don't mind kissing ass and quietly accepting abuse to both yourself and your fellow residents.
Amazing supportive housing unit. The staff are fantastic and genuinely care about their clients. They have a plethora of programs that caters to everybody's individual needs. Overall, 10/10 would live there again.
I am not a youth but had a wonderful experience with Mr.Stam . Thank you so much for your kindness and patience they need
more people like you on in this industry like you .
PYV is an extremely handy way to get your life in order. I have been a resident here for the last year and I couldn't be more grateful for the journey. PYV offers amazing support, insightful group discussions, helpful reminders as well as a great understanding and application of individualized support. If you are having trouble getting out of bed, going to work, maintaining habits, creating meaningful relationships or even just suffer from a lack of motivation I would absolutely recommend coming here and making the most of your experience. The staff are always ready to listen and will assist you with whatever you need. From the bottom of my heart, thank you PYV - Aaron
This facility is polluted with staff who aren t equipped to work with troubled youth lacking empathy understanding & conflict resolution if a problem does arise between two people they will more than likely sweep it under the rug silencing the issue letting it boil over leading to a out of control space and that s only one defective way that fights between residents are handled you would think they would catch a hint that change is needed by the way residents behave towards each other that inevitably escalates to altercation.
Also staff are far from professionals patronizing residents and flexing their authority over you any chance they get as if you are inferior to them there is no sense of equity in this place I myself along with many others had such tragic experiences here and I m worried for the next young person who decides to live here I was bullied and constantly terrorized by fellow residents and at the time I expected more out of peel youth considering how promising it sounded in the beginning.
Peel youth Village is a disease to the community and needs a wipe out in management & staff.
Has a great and world best staff. Some night are not so good but most staff are good and have all facilities for youths and are great for youth and had canteen which has great food. And there gym is also great and has a great embance. And has great counselors with excellent knowledge and well trained and professional and friendly and tender. Best of luck!!! Thumbs up. May GOD bless you all.
Staff are rude and discriminatory. They are mostly all the same ethnicity (african american) and put down other people. For example, i heard them discriminating against a Korean individual.
