Do not send your child to this organization. I sent my daughter there and believed they had the best intentions in helping her turn around her life. Instead, they made her trauma worse. They lie to parents and heavily monitor what your child expresses. They are not allowed to say a bad word about the organization or else they are severely punished - taking away meals, taking away the "privilege" of speaking, doing manual labor for hours, being socially isolated. The children are not allowed to have any relationships with any other person in the facility. They are not allowed to express their emotions or they would be punished. My daughter was berated, humiliated and taunted by staff. They took away her ability to speak up when things are wrong, to share her feelings, to call the people she loved, to build healthy relationships, to trust other people. They would restrain children, 3-4 grown adults sitting on a 100lbs girl, for walking away from interactions, such as being punished for a wrinkle in their bed or dirt on the floor. They put her on a variety of medication that she never wanted to be on and has never needed before or after. I deeply regret sending my child here.

Our daughter was there just short of two years. Her therapist was great, however we otherwise found Uinta to over promise and under perform. The quality of the educational program was one of the promises made. We found it lacking. Our daughter regressed, but more importantly it appears that no one was keeping track of this or keeping us updated. We went to a number of family weekends which were not helpful. Jeff generally seemed more interested in a movie made based upon his program than interacting with the families. We expected a more personal touch with interaction focused on our child. Instead, we often were “taught” about interacting with our daughters (collectively) without regard to their personal issues. In short, we found this to be more institutional than we had anticipated. Once we enrolled our daughter there was little communication. I think Uinta can be a good place for some, but it was not for us.

Don’t send your child to this horrific institution. I suffered severe anxiety and depression due to my stay at uinta. It’s been 14 years since I left and it’s so infuriating that this place is still going strong and hasn’t been shut down for abuse. I am hopeful that these residential “treatment” facilities will be a thing of the past soon. They are harmful and cause very serious damage. Please don’t send your child here at all costs. I went to two other programs that were much better than uinta and didn’t cause the trauma this facility has. I find it interesting how many girls have ended up dying since attending this “school”. I’m not saying that uinta has anything to do with it but I feel like though there is a correlation that needs to be considered. Not to mention their education program is not even accredited I lost nearly 2 years of schooling I has to make up just to get a high school diploma. Some people may insist that these places are good but we also thought years ago that lobotomy was an appropriate treatment for mental health issues as well.

Uinta isn't for everyone however it played a crucial factor in my recovery. I personally benefited from the therapeutic aspect, however I fell behind in academics because the lack of communication with my parents and I. I had 2 amazing therapists and I would say had a semi "normal" experience. I will say there were many harmful situations I was put into that caused me lots of trauma and some of the employees lied to my parents about what was happening. The journey isn't easy and isn't for girls who aren't looking for change. Parents don't force uinta on your girls, it creates hatred and unsafe environment for the other residents. your whole family has to be 100% committed to change and work through some of the hardest things you'll ever have to. But I think it was worth it in the end.

I went to uinta when I was thirteen and suffered severe emotional trauma because of it. I have been diagnosed with chronic migraines since leaving uinta, but while I was there since it wasn't officially diagnosed I was refused medicine multiple times, to the point where i would often vomit and feel near faint due to the pain I was in. Also, one time I got Bronchitis and Pneumonia and was on "sick day' for a solid two weeks, in which I was prohibited from any social interaction. This lack of socialization led up to me hallucinating an entire conversation with someone. (I am not schizophrenic, my social brain was just trying to cope with complete isolation. Not only was I not allowed to talk to my peers and staff, but I was unable to speak to my parents as well until I fully recovered, and was threatened with "negative points" if i told them how serious the sikness was. My parents were lied to and told it was just a "cold." Please, DO NOT send your children here. It is a horrific place, and it turned me from a social butterfly to an insecure antisocial introvert. I have an extreme lack of trust in my parents to this day, as I am constantly worried they will somehow send me back.
