Parent Reviews
Life changing. Best decision I ever made for my child. The team is so caring and easy to get ahold of. Any questions or concerns are handled immediately.
The whole family was cared for. We are all better for it. I came to their door with no hope left. Now the family has changed for the better. My child has the chance now at a good life. I can smile again.
My daughter has been at Turning Winds for 10 months. Prior to being at Turning Winds, she had one suicide attempt and a few years of engaging in self-harm. The excellent staff at Turning Winds taught her healthy coping skills for her depression and anxiety, but more importantly, they helped her practice those skills over and over in a safe and supportive environment.
My daughter has healed within the family-like atmosphere of Turning Winds and its beautiful, natural setting. With all the support she’s received, she’s grown more confident and is emerging into the best version of herself.
Highlights of Turning Winds that make it stand out among other treatment centers I looked at: leadership who gently guide parents through the daunting and scary process of having their teens in treatment; staff who genuinely care and go above and beyond to make the kids feel special; therapists who really get teens, can communicate with them effectively and train the parents how to as well; and the natural setting which really puts the nervous system at ease and ready for healing.
Since my son has been home he has been doing amazing. I was really worried because once COVID hit I was not sure what he would do with all his free time...thankfully he spent his time applying for jobs and researching colleges.
Thank you Turning Winds! I love the staff and how much they all care about our family.
