    Hello. My name is Jakob, I am a 17 year old trying to make a short documentary about adolescent…read moremental health care in New Jersey. I have had terrible experiences at St. Clares as well. I was admitted for severe psychosis when I was 13 years old, and the only thing I remember is them locking me in the "quiet room" for an hour (more than once) for getting agitated and yelling, and no, it wasn't the nice one with the bench. It was the one with NO bench, where you had to sit on the floor. My butt hurt so bad afterwards lol!!! I went twice, two months apart, and it was terrible both times. They also let me out before I was ready because my insurance wouldn't pay anymore. Didn't fight for me or nothing. I was still in a psychotic episode and was left to deal with it on my own. Thank God I go to a therapeutic school, because I wouldn't have survived otherwise. I am very privileged. Please, do not send your child here. If you've made it this far in the review, please consider emailing me. As I said, I am making a documentary about people's experiences in adolescent mental health treatment facilities in NJ. My email is thekidsinamericadoc@gmail blah blah you know the rest. I don't know if they'll take this review down, but if you see this, please respond!! I'd love to hear your story, and possibly interview you for the doc. Thanks so much for reading.

    Staying in the children's unit of St. Clare's was the worst experience I have ever had. The care is…read morenonexisten. I received maybe 10 minutes of "therapy" a day, and only on weekdays (they don't have any social workers or doctors on the weekends). The tiny amount of therapy consisted solely of questioning the patient to figure out when they could be discharged. I believe I received zero care or comfort from any staff member. One particular staff member, whose name I believe was Christina, laughed and mocked me when I was screaming and crying uncontrollably while in a restraint bed. She called me "angsty" for being so upset, and no other staff member seemed to think this was an issue because no one said anything. I screamed and cried so hard I passed out due to how upset I was in the facility. they, of course, never bothered telling my guardians this happened. when my guardians asked for my medical records, they were ignored. I'm decently sure this is because they never bothered recording any information. I've only scratched the surface of how horrific my "treatment" was, but thinking about it makes me want to cry so I'll stop here. Do not go here. Do not send anyone here. It's a prison where vulnerable, suffering people get treated like garbage.
