Staff likes to take the childrens belongings and give them to other children.staff likes to raise their voices/scream at children who are already suffering from mental illnesses!She was attacked by other children while staff was supposed to be watching her and they weren't. They take the others childrens word and write your child up without an adult witnessing it. My 11 year old said the roaches were very bad back there in the bedrooms. Please don't take your children here if you can help it!
There were ups and downs to being at Harbor Point. The ups were I got to be around many different cultural and ethnic groups. 3/4 of the staff were juvenile- like and acted like a teenager in highschool. Harbor Point traumatized me becuase many of the other residents touched me innapropriatley. Once a staff was saying sexual things to me.I would like to thank Ms. Angel Bowden and Ms. Meghan Graham for being the only reliable trust worthy staff. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO HARBORPOINT. THEY WILL BE EXPOSED TO GANGS, SEXUAL HARRASMENT, GETTING PHYSICALLY BEAT UP. I was a resident there for 6 months. THE GIRLS SLIPPED USED TAMPONS UNDER THE DOOR TO THE BOYS UNITS. I was made fun of becuase of my sexual orientation and felt like dying. THe staff would threaten us and say they were going to turn there heads and let the other residents beat us up. I feared for my life everyday, and suffered from multiple headaches daily. THere was alot of kids that got jumped every week.
I went there back in 2012 with severe depression and anxiety. Let me tell you the staff doesn't care about you. I got beat up weekly and some of the staff would sit there and laugh at us. Now I know that this was 5 years ago but seeing other reviews makes me want to speak up more of what I went through back then I was touched inappropriately by a roommate and the staff blamed me for it. There was a lot of cock roaches in the shelves it's not a place to send your child
I was here back in 2012-2013. I Was on the Wings unit. This was the unit for girls who had extreme self harm problems. When I first got there I thought it would be a good thing for me. I was wrong. The unit its self was small and are rooms were locked during the day. There was not m8ch room to move around if you needed space or a break from the other residents. On are unit we had "assigned seats" Are unit only had 8 chairs but we had to be every other seat. We had 12 girl. So at least 4 girls including myself were forced to sit on the floor. I rarley left the unit becuase i was always on restriction. I left the building 1 time for the animal shelter. I was continually put in holds wtch was extremely traumatic for me becuase of the fact that I have extreme PTSD, If you look on the website they have this supposed greatschools unit. The "school" if you could call it that was nothing like that. We sat i one room all day doing the same packets regarddlrss of what grade or what classes we were supost to be doing.
I was here for 6 months. It's not as bad as the review say. Those reviews were a year or longer ago. I went to HP on March 7 And left on July 20. When I first got there I was bullied for a month. I didn't react to them. They tried to fight me. More then once. And one time they put nair in my shower stuff. But after time it got better. I met some really good girls. I was friends with everyon there. I stayed out of the drama, which got me out faster. I was talking to this girl there that me and my brotherwent to school with. and she said your brothers here. I didn't believe it at all. It had been 5 years since I had seen him. So I told my therapist. She looked into it. And it was him. After all that time. He was there I found out in may of 2017 and he went there in December and lefties in September. It is now November 12. I have the happiest I have been. HP did change me. Not everyone was nice. While I was there I only got 10 write ups. I knew the rules like the back of my hands. I knew what to do what not to do and what I could get away with. And how to do it. Not all staff are great. I was on oasis B and I want to say a shout to the staff that was on that unit. They did what they were supposed to do. I've been almost four months now. And I've changed so much. And it's because of the stuff and even the kids. People say the kids judged them for their sexually orientation I strongly disagree with that. I'm gay and everyone was accepting to that even the staff. I am very thankful to have experienced that. And i have a great home now. And it's because Hp changed me.
