They have removed the staff list as well as the ramp program consequences-just a few weeks ago. It looks like admissions inquiries now go to Anne Kossatz who is Darryl Williams' wife, and has a marketing background
The staff turnover is very high-local women to do the supervisionin the house. Never any qualifications listed. In my experience they were poorly educated, untrained, sometimes very nasty, sometimes well meaning but so lacking in any training that they put the girls and themselves at risk. Anyone with any real training would be appalled, as the place has no real therapeutic value at all.
The teachers are mostly nice people..with no qualifications or teacher training. No certified teachersAgain, my experience was that the academic quality was very poor.
The therapists..seem to change alot. The one i had experience with was clueless. The main guy, Mark Pratt is a very nice person, but surely he understands what they are doing is wrong. Surely he understands that Darryl was not a dr?? How can he pretend that being at that place is in any girls best interest.
The owners, Dale Stohn and Bob Shaw seem to stay in the background. Dale is a nasty piece of work and shows nothing but disdain for the girls, except the few she makes her favourites. She is supposed to be a psychotherapist, but from what school who knows. She runs a breast thermography clinic on the side now. They fees range up to 60,ooo$ a yr-they vary according to the yer or inmate. But the fees they charge on top-every time you call home they bill your parents claiming a therapist must monitor the call.
Parents should run. I know its sometimes desperate when there are so few resources out there, and they take advantage of that. Honestly your kid is better in a psych ward if needed with real doctors, real therapists and human rights. Even they allow phone calls home every day, and visitors and don't monitor your calls, or make you clean dirty toilets or deny proper medical care.
