I went there when I was 17. One of the staff kept nagging me until I exploded. I went to hillside because I had lost my dad and was very suicidal along with being abused by my bio mom. Also, they right you up when you sleep during school or in sessions. I couldn’t keep my eyes open because they put my on heavy meds and they made me super drowsy. I believe they put everyone on meds to control them instead of actually helping and doing what they need for the patients. I would not recommend going here because the a lot but not all staff are not helpful. There were a handful that actually helped me and talked to me.

My child was at Hillside for the last 9 months. Unfortunately, my child needs more intense care and had to go somewhere else. Everyone at Hillside did the very best they could. It wasn’t a vacation but my child enjoyed doing art therapy, horticulture, drumming, school, and exercising. They met regularly with a skilled DBT therapist and we had weekly family sessions with an amazing therapist. Hillside also offers classes for parents. The doctor and therapists kept me informed on everything. I felt that everyone at Hillside genuinely cared; however, there were a few staff members in those 9 months that weren’t the greatest. Issues with staff were addressed quickly though. As with any mental hospital, they have a high turnover rate so the not so great staff didn’t stay long. My child has been in and out of mental hospitals for the past four years and this one was by far the most caring and helpful. I highly recommend Hillside.

Very negative experience to date. Impossible to reach staff by phone. Slow responsiveness. Inflexible and highly impersonal intake process. It seems the pandemic was crippling for some of their processes. My friends advised me to engage Skyland Trail and Berman Center. Good luck to anyone navigating treatment for the littles in a pandemic. The quality leaderboard is certainly shifting in these very challenging times.

I would NOT recommend this place. Especially if you have to travel far from another state, etc.The therapist was constantly telling me that my son didnt have behavior problems. However, he was there for a reason, she was negative and not helpful. She told me she used a behavioral plan from another former client, she should have kept that to herself. She was inexperienced too, while not her fault but dont sell this place as DBT exceptionally trained, when she was inexperienced at 1 year only. Also,, he came back underweight and the behavior plan was not explained or followed by them. It may help someone local but to pay out of state fees/travel/deductible is not worth it. 👎

When I went there near Christmas I stayed in McBurney and I STILL have flashbacks and trauma I went through, the staff were awful and I should’ve reported them, I had to sleep out in the hall bc I had sleep apnea so I had to have my CPAP and they WOULD NOT stop talking, and they trigger you in every way possible, now I don’t know how it is in the other houses but TRY YOUR HARDEST to tell them not to put you in McBurney The first day I was there I sat in one of the chairs and the staff lady said No you can’t sit there sit over there in the snarkiest tone..and I went to the side area and I was having a panic attack THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT but I hope the other houses aren’t like that...PLEASE do something with the staff if one of the people in charge see this

Hillside really helped me but isnt for everyone.I went to Hillside when I was 13 (14 now), I was really sick, and was struggling a lot. I was at Hillside for about 4 months altogether (I was in and out of inpatient and day program for a bit). Now I am very happy and have a lot of good relationships and good self-control.Hillside is very, very hard on you. Its really strict and tough. If you can handle that, it definitely has the potential to help you. And if it doesnt help with what you went for, it will definitely make you incredibly strong, like you can get through anything.However, if you cant handle the level of push they put you through, please dont go (or make your kid go). If anything, youll get worse. Youll stay in trouble and wont be allowed to do much of anything fun.Youll either get better or get worse, I think youd have a hard time coming home the exact same then when you came, unless you were there a very short time (basically if insurance wont pay).The DTB they teach is very good, and if you are willing to work very hard, then you can really make a difference on your mental health.During the school year, you have school the normal days (mon-fri), but you have the normal holidays off. The school there is fine, I must admit I dont know much about it since I was there during the COVID pandemic, and the school was quite different than it usually is.Spending Christmas/the winter holidays at Hillside isnt too bad. Theres lots of games and things, and everyone gets presents on Christmas day. Though if you dont celebrate Christmas, they try to help you feel included, but sometimes they dont do the best job at that. On your birthday you get presents, too, and sometimes cake, too.So all together, Hillside can really help you if you can handle it.

I was in avrill and this place helped so much some days i just want to call the staff and have a whole convorsation w them. one thing was that if you were trans or non binary or went by a different name it would habe to go through your therapist AND parents which most arent completly cool with. so most of the time we would have to call people by their deadname which ik is very traumatizing in some situations. but otherwise it really helped me

Initially, I was very frustrated: my teen was in crisis, every day felt like years, and the waiting list was not working for me. If you are waiting, it is worth it--carry on!! Once my daughter was admitted to the facility, I understood the wait: Hillside is extremely specialized and highly personalized (and accepts insurance)! Once we got in, the experience has been phenomenal (and I am not easily impressed and even less so when it comes to caring for my children). The program is so thoughtful and well-rounded. Our care team is consistently impressive in their expertise but even more meaningful, its tailored directly to my daughter and our family. The team is totally accessible, responsive, committed. As a parent, I cannot fathom a more beneficial scenario for our family. I was totally overwhelmed, terrified and desperate. Sometimes I still feel scared, but I have an ever-present team who knows us and always communicates helpful advice whenever we need it. Being at Hillside is a gift.

Our experience at Hillside has been nothing short of exceptional. Communication with everyone, from my sons therapist, to the medical staff, education team, and most importantly - reaching my son - has been better than I could have ever expected. I get calls from at least one staff member almost daily to check in about my sons care. Hillside also encourages FaceTime to speak to my son in the evenings, as well as recommends family therapy via Zoom. This gives me a more interactive experience than just a phone call would be offer. My son has enjoyed horticultural therapy class this week. The grounds dont look like a residential facility, more like a higher end boarding school in a beautiful neighborhood. My son has had a very positive experience so far, and he is more open to getting the help he needs being in a supportive environment at Hillside. I do highly recommend this facility.

DONT SEND YOUR CHILD HEREi stayed at mcburny and the experience was awful the staff were very disrespectful and knew your triggers and did not care whatsoever, i saw a girl slam her head into a windowsill and bleed over the floor and the staff said she was being very “dramatic” and i tried to help and then they put me on restrictions for trying to be a genuine human being i don’t recommend sending any child to hillside. it was very traumatic and had me more stressed out when i got discharged i never wanted to go back there ever again.

This place felt more like Juvie. The staff can get a bit snippy. But there were a few that were nice. The showers were a joke I remember how surprised I was the first time I turned it on and the tiniest bit of water came out. At times I felt like my therapist either didn’t seem to care or was not equipped to deal with my issues.The School was okay. THe teachers were nice. But the schoolwork felt like they just knew we had to be in school and gave us random worksheets.Also the restraint I saw I know it wasn’t a straight jacket but it functioned like one. Staff members would carry the person in the device like they’re carpet.One more thing they encourage Positivity at all times. I am a natural negative thinker. But I feel like myself included we need to find a balance between positivity and negativity.This was a long time ago so hopefully things changed.

Went here when I was 14, and Im 21 now. If theres one long-term facility that Ive been at that I have actually got experience, as well as a proper diagnosis from, it would be Hillside. The teachers, staff, and other adolescents, have left a extremely positive lasting impact on me, and while there may have been bad apples on the staff, my grievance complaints were always taken seriously. Ive since moved to Colorado, and now have a stable job, a daughter, a fiancée, a house, and so much more to live for and continue on. As an ex-Avril resident, you guys have really been the best help I have ever gotten in such a low, desperate time in my life and I rate this great place 5 stars.

Honestly, it was a fair experience. i was in the kiwanis cottage in june. all of the staff were super nice once you got to know them. mrs. whitney is a whole different breed, but thats just her personality i guess. shoutout to mr.schneider though, he was a real og. i met really amazing people there, and i love the women who run the garden!! so sweet. let me just tell you, THE CHOCOLATE MILK, OH MY GOD. it was so good, the best ive ever had. it was a lot of fun being able to go do therapeutic activities n such. it truly helped me being there, im much more calm, and i know how to handle my urges and emotions better. i did get covid-19 there though, which sucks. other than that, amazing experience.

I read the review from ofleavesandbruises, and that basically summarized my experience. some, even most of the staff were nice, but some did have a serious attitude. i stayed on mcburney for about 9 weeks. like she said, if you got in trouble, youd lose privs. except privs included simple things, like reading, drawing, and even being allowed to leave the cottage sometimes. and the worst part, it didnt really help. it got rid of my anger issues, but my depression and anxiety are still there. and they feel worse. i still feel extremely depressed and anxious at times, and dbt skills dont really help. self-soothe is really the only one that works for me. my home life is still the same as well. i would like to give a special thanks to mr. antoine. he was the best lol. thanks for reading...

Some staff were phenomenal; however, others were downright mean.I also find it funny how they only show pictures from the outside and the newly renovated unit. You should post some pictures of Kiwanis, North Boys 1/2, or McBurney. That would really dissuade parents from sending their children here. I highly recommend the day program, but residential can be awful depending on the cottage/unit youre put into. The only reason I got better and was able to leave was because of my own sheer will to fake it till I made it.

I was at hillside about one year from now and it was the most awful experience of my life I was on the cottage mcburney and the staff constantly taunted me. If you go here just know no one reads your grievances the food is tasteless and the mcburney showers have mildew in them, and one of the staff ms. cherese is a terrible individual. The therapists were the WORST part because I had a literal breakdown because of how the staff treated me and they did absolutely nothing. I left with more emotional damage and suicidal thoughts then I came in with. I’d give you a fair warning this place really isn’t all what it looks like on the outside.

I was here for a little over a month and it was the worst experience of my life. The staff was so unfair, they treated this one girl like she was some high and mighty princess. For example, if she did something to you and you said something about it to the staff, they would jump all over you and you would be the one to get in trouble. Also you get “no’s” for not eating enough. I don’t think they realize that not everyone eats the same, I’ve never been one to eat a lot at one time because if I do I start feeling sick because of my acid reflux. Well, one time I couldn’t eat anymore and I felt like if I did I was going to throw up, so I told them that. Their response was something along the lines, “you either eat or get a no,” like seriously?!? My mom even told them not to make me eat when I feel sick because I will throw up, and they still tried to make me eat. They also tried to teach us that we shouldn’t “depend on our parents,” but we’re kids? I’m pretty sure kids kind of need to depend on their parents for things. They also tried to tell me that me being close to my mom was unhealthy, she’s my mom and it’s in no way unhealthy to be close to her. This place is ridiculous and I am baffled at how many good reviews there are.

Hillside definitely had it’s ups and downs. The experience was pretty alright.Jo Williams cottage was a nice place to reside. The place was so adorable! there were lots of board games, craft supplies, books, and even a wii with a wide variety of games to chose from. Most of the staff were wonderful. They were helpful, empathetic, supportive, kind, and wanted above all to see you get better and reach a more healthy/positive state. The food was pretty good too, and there were often favorite meals among us cottage members. While I may have not realized it at the time, this is definitely the place that shed light on a myriad of different issues I was facing at the time. I am now a legal adult, successfully making it on my own, forming and keeping healthy and lasting relationships, and now about to hold down two jobs. The use of DBT was emphasized, which I am now forever grateful for having learned. It’s been 4 years since I’ve discharged, and to this day I still think about the impact it had on my life. I still wonder where life has taken the people I had stayed on that cottage with, and if any of you see this, I hope you are doing well :).The negatives of this experience were, to begin, few and far between, but ultimately impactful enough to note here. Family therapy didn’t help much. Due to the nature of the relationship between my parents and I (who were emotionally/psychologically and occasionally physically abusive), it did very little to assist in the long run. My therapist often sided with my parents, who had often lied about or exaggerated about what I was going through during multiple sessions. I often was forced to give in during sessions and just roll with whatever my parents were talking about/ complaining about that time. Many of the sessions felt like therapy for my parents, and that my issues were secondary. The only way I was able to cope when my parents were involved was to contribute to a false image of pseudo-mutuality. I was put on medications there that a psychiatrist/therapist I had seen 5 months ago was very shocked to have been informed I was taking, and had been told they were not necessary at all for any of my issues. My psychiatrist at hillside was very hesitant to listen to my complaints about two new medications I was on after I had explained multiple times that something was off/wrong with how my body was reacting to the meds. I felt I had very little of a voice in MY OWN treatment there. I felt I wasn’t listened to much there, and that certain people in charge of treating me were not focusing on some important factors as to why I had landed there in the first place.The second complaint is that of some of the staff members. There was one staff member in particular on Jo Williams that I did not get along with much. In addition to simply being overall a negative person, She would pick on certain patients there, and there was an instance where I stepped in and stood up for a girl she had put down and said something very nasty to, however not successfully. The two of us had filed a grievance against her and were not taken very seriously. The girl had explained that some of the things she had said on different occasions were very triggering (she had ptsd related to abuse). I don’t know whether or not she was actually talked to about her behavior. Regarding my experience, there were some instances in which she was caring and thoughtful, and others where she was quite cold, childish, and unempathetic to the point of me wondering why on earth she was a caretaker professionally. We got into a few heated arguments during my time there. Sometimes other cottage members and myself would even dread the days in which she was scheduled to work on the cottage.Overall, it was relatively okay for a long term stay at a mental health facility, and I have faith that any of the concerns I have will be acknowledged at least slightly.

I was there a year ago and I can honestly say I’ve had time to cool down and really think about this. This place caused by emotional drama. I remember being told multiple times about the area and if I tried to escape that I had a high risk of being r****, kidnapped, and sold. They lied to my parents about my actions and gave my parents advice that if they followed I can confidently say I would still not be speaking to them. The staff is what I can only consider emotionally abusive, and I was often emotionally manipulated. They got mad at me and said I child would be r**** because I hugged another patient on there last day whitch had given me verbal consent to hug them. I remember crying myself to sleep begging anyone who would listen to just be let out. They knew my triggers and repeatedly used them to there advantage further traumatizing me. The food was decent and some of the teachers were actually really nice but over all this place resulted in multiple therapy sessions after leaving crying about what they put me through. I’m still not over it and only beg that you do not send your loved ones here. It will be there own personal emotional hell.

Right now I am out of hillside and my mom told me I have to go back to fix my meds. So I don’t want to go because I was there A few months ago. I have anxiety and depression my experience there is not enough to stop my mom from sending me there. Anyway when I was in hillside Averill my worst memory was after I hade completed hygiene we all where just siting there and I asked for water and the staff I asked sed “no” I was thirsty and about 30 minutes later I asked a different staff for water and she sed when another staff comes out plenty of staff walked in and out and I was still waiting for water I waited and I waited and soon enough it was time for bed and my phone call and I asked another staff for water before my phone call and he said sure after your phone call my parents were on a plane so I couldn’t talk to them so I talk to my grandma and I told her how I was thirsty just because there’s nothing else to talk about and apparently another staff heard this and after my phone call the one staff said that he could not find my cup and told me to go over to the other staff and she could not find my cup so she gave me a little bowl filled it with water and I was drinking and she gave me this big lecture of how I shouldn’t have told my parents how I was thirsty and I Chugged that water and by the end of her lecture I had tears in my eyes not because I was sad necessarily but because I was mad and I went to my room and I started crying in my pillow and I went to sleep and I woke up the next day as usual. I don’t remember the staffs name but that is one of the main reasons why I do not wanna go back and again my parents don’t understand I don’t blame them I’m very hard to understand but seeing all these other comments of other kids in the same place as me I really don’t want to go back. Don’t get me wrong the school was awesome but I didn’t necessarily like it after school it was boring before school it was boring and if you’re really drawn in about the animals don’t be the ferret the bunny everything like that not there once a month there’s like dog thing where dogs come to the gym but then only happened one time when I was there and I was there for a month And the only other animal there was was a bearded dragon in one of the classrooms but if you’re not in that class can’t hold it that’s what they told me at least I’m just saying this for averill I haven’t been to any other cottage but averill

I worked here for several years as a behavior spec. and the hours were convenient for my schedule. I wouldnt say it is all bad but there is no connection between the management and the behavior specalists. Although we worked with the children all the time we were treated as glorified fry cooks and made to know that we were expendable. Unfortunately it is a totally private hospital so the admin. Doesnt answer to anybody. As a result they give themselves raises and bonuses regularly while paying the unit staff very poorly. The HR dept. is unlike anything I have ever experienced. They are not there for employees and we were routinely threatened with the spectre of a visit to HR as a prelim to being fired. This place is run like a small fiefdom with those at the top doing very well while treating those closest to the patients quite badly. As an example we worked 12hr shifts during which we were not permitted a scheduled break. You could ask for a short break but it was at your supervisors discretion. When new hires would lecture us about the illegality of this practice we would laugh and say welcome to Hillside.

So far it has exceeded our expectations! My son is still there he complained the food was tasteless. I am thinking probably due to some diet restrictions. They have a set schedule and routine that my son with autism needs. They help the children focus on hygiene, manners, time management, learning respect for others, taking responsibility of their actions. We have family therapy weekly and they keep the communication open with the parents. I have been through so many therapy’s with my son , psychologist, psychiatrist, and different medication. Nothing worked but this place is helping him so much he is now A&B student. And very little meltdowns and very cooperative. So far I am very content I would recommend this place for a child who needs help.

Our daughter discharged from Hillside almost two years ago. Words simply cannot express our our gratitude to Hillside. As parents we were losing hope that our journey to find healing for our daughter would have a happy ending. After searching for treatment that would help her overcome her struggles, Hillside was THE answer. There are many things that distinguishes Hillside as a premier mental health hospital for children and adolescence. From the beginning of our Hillside experience it was evident that they understood our daughter and her struggles. They were also confident that they knew how to help her. We found Hillside staffed with extremely competent professionals that truly cared about helping our child. They also involved us as parents in developing the treatment plan...they listened to us!! What a breath of fresh air. Not only did they work with our daughter while she was a resident, they also worked extensively with the parents. The weekly family sessions were invaluable to helping us understand our daughter and her struggles better. From the very beginning of her stay, the family therapy sessions began educating us on how to better support our daughter and also began to prepare us for her future transition back into our home. The medical doctor and nurses were amazing as well. They were able to diagnose her quickly and get her on the right medication. The school was incredible and the staff at Jo Williams Cottage provided the right support. Our daughter will be graduating high school in May and plans to begin college in the fall. A few years ago we would have never felt this could be possible. We highly recommend Hillside to anyone searching for help for their child. Hillside cares and they have a plan that will help your child!!

This place saved my son life. He is struggling with depression but he is learning very important skills to deal with it. The therapist are the best, they know how to push them in a safe way. Believe me I have been in many therapist offices before we got here. As a parent, this is the first time that I could go to sleep knowing that my son has been working hard to get better. The staff (all of them) are not working there for just a check, they really care. I would never be able to pay them for their support, help and treatment that they provided to my son. THANKS!

For some of you that were placed on the other side of the ward maybe you didnt hear about it, mainly because they would only use it for the “dangerous ones” lol its a 65 degree 5x10 box that they would place you in after sedating you and placing you in a “saftey coat” lol yea i was a young unexperienced lad at that time but these memories have helped me tremendously accounting in my rareity of “disoreders” this place help a you phsycopath become primed and ready for anything so thanks guys!

I was here years ago on mccburney, i went twice and overall every time it was pretty good when i wasn’t acting a fool. staff at mccburney are great. honestly, if you’re just doing what you’re supposed to and listening they will treat you good. the second time i went it helped the most, got me on the right track in life. (you can only be helped if you accept the help and try to better yourself). when i got out i used to call and talk to my favorite staff members and tell them how good i was doing. i’m thriving right now in my life and a lot of that is because of this place. me and my grandpa can never ever thank you guys enough. back then i thought i wouldn’t live long enough to get a job, be able to drive and have a good boyfriend in my life, but now i’m about to get engaged, i have a good job and i’m about to move out into the world on my own and i’m glad i made it this far. thank you guys so much.

My name is Logan Cantore and Im a former patient from Hillside. Its been a while since Ive even thought about my stay because things have gone so well since, I just got my first job today and I truly believe I never wouldve had the motivation to do it if it wasnt for the outstanding staff at Hillside. If I may Id like to request that Mr. RJ, Mrs. Crystal, Mr. Gabe, Mr. Logan, Mr. John, and all the night and day staff each personally receive my sincere thanks for the phenomenal job that they do there. If it werent for you guys I wouldve never grown up to be the man I am today, and for that reason you all have a very special place in my heart. YOU GUYS SAVED MY LIFE. Im sorry I havent called or visited to update you all but its been a hell of a ride and I want you all to know I havent forgotten a single thing you guys did for me. Im sorry for some of the stupid decisions I made while I was there, but in the end Im so happy to have spent the 3 months that I spent with you all. Please remember all the laughs we shared and even sometimes the tears, its kept me going for a long long time now and I hope its done the same for each of you. I miss you all so much and I hope to come visit soon. Keep up the good work everyone, and never forget the reason each of you is there because I know I never will. 😊❤P.S.I know not everyone has the same experience here and I understand so thats why I want to address this. These people work their butts off to keep the patients safe. I saw it every single day I was there and I can say in complete confidence that if they didnt have to do certain things the way they do it theyd change it all in a heartbeat. I felt welcomed every day I woke up, I felt like I was with a family away from my family, I felt safe like I am at home now. My whole stay there I constantly thought about home, but now that Ive left I have nothing but a desire to come back just to thank the staff for what they did for me and I live 6 hours and 33 minutes away. I know because I was upset that I never properly said goodbye the whole ride home. So if you really didnt like your stay then Im sorry, but I can say in good conscience that I will never forget the lessons I learned and the people I grew to know at Hillside.

OMG best place! I was in the Jo Williams cottage. Which they told me is for more... Self-controlled parients. Thats what they said. Its smaller and nicer. Which is a little unfair. But, not everyone needs the same treatment. Some need small and nice. Some need big and tough. Makes them feel less alone. I guess...Anyways!Food was a little bland, but staff was great! Ms.Fab. Mmm! You go girl! She probably doesnt remember me but i remember her! At first, we were not so nice with each other. Later, she became my favorite staff!I met my soulmate there. Not lover soulmate. But a friend. She and I were close. We shared similar interests, opinions, and problems. None. And yet we were there. She is thought of everyday now.
