I did a search for this residential treatment center, but apparently no one on Fornits has posted about it yet. Does anyone have any information about this school?

I've never heard about it, but it has a god-awful frightening name. It sounds like newspeak. Ministry of Love. Ministry of Peace. Ministry of Plenty.

I can tell you that in the early days it was a drug rehab center, in Newark. And a a god aweful one. Based on the Synanon model, Nobody with an actual degree. Only ex drug users hellbent on perpuating the same misery that they went through.

The Newark thing and the RTC about which the first question seem to be two different things. Or has IH-Newark added a line?
Kinda makes ya want more specific questions and more considered answers or both.
Also makes ya wonder why somebody asks about something not already slammed here. Every thing anybody seems to know about gets slammed, right?!

Integrity House Schools was issued a business license by the Beaver City Council in Utah on December 6, 2005.

This facility is described as a residential treatment facility for 16 students.

What's disturbing: Bernard Farrow was on the agenda at this meeting.

Bernard (Bernie)Farrow is the former "counselor/therapist" at the Whitmore Academy in Nephi, Utah.
The Whitmore Academy owner, Cheryl Sudweeks, is awaiting criminal trial for 7 counts of abuse/hazing against 4 students.

Bernie Farrow's credentials, have been brought into question in the WWASP vs PURE transcript.
His dismissal from another facility is discussed in this transcript, also.

Integrity House deserves some more looking into.

Who is the owner/director of this facility?
Is it licensed by the State of Utah?
Who is referring students to this facility? Is there still a Farrow/Sue Scheff P.U.R.E. connection here?
Is "DR" Bernie Farrow the therapist at this facility?

Jesus fucking christ... fucking Utah, man. What the fuck is up with that piece of shit state? Most of the facilities Maia talks about in her book has some assfucker connection with Utah. WTF?

Do I need to buy myself a tin hat over here? Cause the cosmic rays from the mothership are saying "Watch out for Utah. It all begins there. (Hail discordia, and all that jazz.)"

Can we force a state to secede from the union?

Help find some answers about this place.
Bernie Farrow was the so-called therapist at the abusive Whitmore Academy.

Why's this place such a little secret?
Only found it because of awareness "dr" bernie lived in this Utah town.

The owner is Daniel Taylor.

They are incorporated with the State of Utah and have a business license issued by Cedar City (not Beaver City). It is licensed by the Utah Department of Human Services as a residential treatment center.

Their website only lists three staff: Daniel Taylor, Julie Bellamy, and Carol Williams.

"Daniel Taylor received his Bachelors of Science Degree from Southern Utah University in Sociology/Child Psychology. Daniel has worked with youth for the past 9 years in settings ranging from in-patient acute care to Therapeutic Foster care. Daniel has experience with children with development delays, as well as conduct disorders. Daniel has one son, 19 month old Dominique. Daniel's wife, Zelpha is a Certified Nurses Aid and is currently a nursing Student."

I don't think Integrity House in NJ and the one in UT are the same. At least it doesn't appear to be the case.

Thoughts? Further info?

Okay, so with a BS in Psych from Georgia Tech, *I* am as qualified as this guy.

And I am emphatically not professionally qualified to care for other people's mentally ill or otherwise disabled kids in a residential facility.

To be doing this kind of work, this guy should have a Masters in Psych or Social Work, at the bare minimum.

"Working with youth" doesn't mean you know your ass from a hole in the ground as far as actually treating people goes. No matter how long you've been "working with youth," that's no substitute for minimally adequate education in the field---which a bachelors is not.

Bios for the only other two people listed:

Program Director: "Julie Bellamy received her Bachelors of Science Degree from Southern Utah University in Psychology. Julie has worked with troubled youth for the past 4 years in a variety of settings including conduct disorders. Julie is an avid outdoors enthusiast and while attending the University was a member of the Women's Basketball Team. She enjoys many forms of music and has helped youth to understand and appreciate music."

I.e. - not qualified.

Therapist?: "Ms. Williams received her Masters of Social Work (M.S.W.) from Eastern Washington University in 1988 after having received a Bachelors of Science degree from Weber State College in 1986. She has been a Certified Clinical Social Worker (CSW) for over 17 years as well as being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). In recent years Ms. Williams has held several positions as "Clinical Director" in residential youth facilities and Counseling Centers where she supervised as many as 35 therapists and case managers, having provided individual, group and family therapy as well as providing crisis management and performing clinical therapy. Carol is a member of the Business and Professional Women and served as Adjunct Professor at the University of Utah in 1995. In addition she received the Duchesne County Professional Achievement Award in 1988 and was named "Utah Professional Women of the Year" in 1996."

Definitely more qualified. I wonder why the rest of the staff's bios are not listed?

Office of Licensing has THREE (3) of these Integrity House treament facilities licensed in Utah:

All show Daniel Taylor as the DIRECTOR
All are listed as Residental Treatment for girls only, ages 12-17.

Integrity House in Cedar City, Utah capicity 23

Integrity House West Cedar City, Utah capacity 6

Integrity House/Beaver Beaver, Utah Capacity 16

What's the deal here? Why are these kids spread out in three different small facilities, with ONE Director?

??

And some guy with a BA? and a wife who's a Nurse's Aid?

Something is just terribly wrong here.

Called there and asked for "Dr" Bernie.
A bit of mumbling, and was told he'd moved to the "East," and the guy on the phone just hung up.

Hmmmmmm

Our daughter was in Integrity House in Cedar City for several months, until we went to get her. The program was nothing like their website claimed it would be. The facility was crummy, and the girls basically stayed in the house and did nothing day after day, week after week. The family who owned it owned other facilities and were really scattered and busy with their own 4 or 5 kids. The cost was unbelievable considering the services that were provided. The school program was pathetic, and the communication between staff and parents was pitiful.

Do not send your children here!! We knew tons of parents who were dissatisfied, and lots of girls were pulled out and brought home or put into better facilities.

HmmmmmmGuest

Bernie Farrow did move to the EAST:
He went to work for Harbor Oaks Boarding School in N.C. - another facility on the ISAC watchlist that Sue Scheff/PURE refers to.

Any idea where Bernie Farrow went, after he left Harbor Oaks?
He worked at Whitmore Academy prior to working at Integrity House.

It might be a good idea to keep an eye on the Sudweeks and where-ever they try to open their new facility.
The Sudweeks - Dr. Bernie - Sue Scheff is a long-time working "triangle." :sue:
