They hurt and abuse both their staff and their clients in the following ways…read more.. They train staff in mandatory abuse report, rights of the individuals, the importance of friendship relationships and the sad reality of lack of natural supports, friendships and family in the lives of most of the disabled individuals we serve and make it well known how valuable and important our relationships with these clients are to them. They even go so far as to encourage us to genuinely befriend and form appropriate and meaningful bonds with our individuals we support. Then as a staff if you actually take all that to heart and become a good, genuine, platonic, close friend with an assigned client they literally fire you and poison the friend/client against you to break all your hearts and withhold/steal all your rightfully earned PTO to instead of clarifying their position and retraining or just accepting the mutual friendship relationship 2 grown consenting adults have every right to be in. It breaks and hurts multiple people and hurts employee moral when you see coworker after coworker get marched out for often petty or normal excusable mistakes or misunderstandings that could literally happen to any of us and the more often you see it happen the more you're left wondering if it's only a matter of time before it happens to me. What's worse is they implemented a human rights violating covid shot mandate and mask mandate that forces workers to have to give up their rights to medical freedom, bodily autonomy and medical privacy! DONT WORK HERE!

They do not care for their residents. They're only in it for the money. Especially if you're a…read moreperson of color, do not stay there for too long. Staff is unprofessional and disrespectful, you are mixed in with a lot of unsavory people you often cannot get away from, and you are expected to work for them if you can find a job within the nearest 10 mile radius. Cory Burket, the R3 program director, does not care about the people in his R3 program. David Helder also bears mentioning, as he can be a total manipulative monster the staff fully listens to whether he is honest or not in his reports. You can find better than the Mission, you can do better than the Mission. Try not to get attached to any of them for too long--they don't care about you as much as you'll believe they do.

I feel Ray, the men's leader, is a bully and has no compassion for men in need unless they brown…read morenose him. I talked to him on the phone and he bullied me and was annoyed with me for asking questions and going to Denver instead of him. Denver was polite and cared but Ray should go back to counseling school and not be in charge of men trying to get a life change and are mentally struggling not high like he immediately makes you feel he is judging you as. He is rude, inpatient and not using a good heart in his decisions and it shows from the complaints I have heard at my church he has not been to school for counseling and my church will not support this program until they get a better leader for the men's program.

This Vinnie's has a lot of stuff but I usually don't find anything I'm looking for here. I've…read moregotten lucky a couple of times in the past but most of the time I walk away empty handed. They have a great book section, and their general household section is pretty big. They also have a lot of furniture to peruse. The people who work here are nice, just incredibly busy. The parking lot is a bit of a nightmare and, aside from being out in Springfield, is the only drawback to this location. It is tough to get out of and finding a spot can be challenging even in the middle of a weekday. I don't come here super often, but I like to stop by when I'm in the area. It's probably not worth making a special trip to, though.

My friend and I visited and were greeted by 2 employees. The shoes are located on the right hand side of entering along with purses. Up above, there are the prices of what colors are on sale, 25% or 50% off. [Organization]: This store is **organized**! The books [category, but way spacious to look], DVDs, CDs, stationary, seasonal decor, shoes [by color not size, then by category], photo frames, cups, furniture, clothes are all on racks with clear signs, and etc. They do have a good handful of jewelry and other speciality items in cases. It was easy to find a helpful and friendly employee to ask for an item in the case. [Price]: I do think depending on what the item is, St.Vinnies is cheaper than Goodwill. At Vinnies, most of the items are a flat price. Such as books, buttons, cards, clothes,and magazines. I ended up buying a handful of books and magazines, and spent about $30. Some were specialty and hardcover too! I decided to keep this review short, since it was overall just a lovely and great experience. I ended up spending over 2 hours browsing around and found a bunch of great things I've been looking for on my personal list. Super impressed and happy about that! I didn't even look at clothes! (next time!) It is definitely a must go to on my thrift store list!

Can't believe this, we've been with the child Center for 3 years. We just got bumped from daily…read morevisits with intense therapy at our home to the day treatment program which was brought to us as a wrap around program meaning help in and outside of school and it hasn't lived up to expectations in the least. We voiced concerns over how my brother was being treated at the school and he actually became sick as we're dealing with many other obstacles right now. We were in Portland over night because he was filling the toilet with blood. Now we're being victimized by the teachers and the supervisor. The way we have been treated since we had to start the day treatment program has been awful. It's supposed to be a school for kids who have special needs but it seems more like jasper mountain for troubled kids. My brother needs more social help than straight discipline. We now get a call from a supervisor saying that we are completely dropped from the child center because of our complaints. The communication with the teacher "counselors" has been horrible through all this. We have had the best experiences here for a long time until the day treatment program. We feel victimized and left out in the cold by them now. This was the one place that truly was helping us until now. My donations will be going elsewhere. Really sad to see this happening. The bullying by the supervisor has been extremely hurtful.
