Unbelievably tearable at what they do.
Nov 28, 2017
Several calls before a return call for initial intake...therapist was perpetually late for my weekly early morning sessions. Also expectations to continue treatment changes without warning. at any time they will claim being unqualified to treat specific diagnosis in a person even after treating that person with that diagnosis for over a year. Horrible ability to focus and guide in client's already claimed personal goals. They tell\focus you on what they think is what is right for you...smh.

Fantastic Foster Care Agency
Jan 08, 2017
This is one of the many agencies in Illinois and DCFS ARSENAL that is the worst place to be at. From late visitations to unexpected injuries to your children and even slander in court reports. The supervisor of the facilities does crochete in her office and the caseworkers keep information from the parents and the courts, which in turn you will be given false hopes from the beginning for the return of your kids, only to finding out that even that is impossible. There goals is to keep your family in the system so they keep getting played and funded by our corrupt state..Krysty Heskitt said " just so your visit for a hour" after the parents found out that the children where carrying scabies and pink eye with no treatment at the time and where very sick. Kids show up with no hats, jackets, even shoes in ten degree weather...they just so not care. And when you complete services the caseworkers will say to the courts that you did not learn nothing and re refer you for more services....judges, lawyers. I stopped my ex girlfriend from possibly killing my 3 month old by picking him up by his throat and I got arrested. Then DCFS investigator Dianne freesmyer took my carseats from my locked car and drove around Peoria with both babies and my ex..they are all surely not in that field of work to help the children nor the parents reunifacation process only for the money....
