Literally an asylum for children. Very unprofessional and manipulative environment. It's not even free to visit your loved one if you want to park close by. Don't believe everything they say, they will change and distortion whatever your child have said or will say, and everything said will be considered as an extreme problem. They will try to keep your child as long as possible to repeat the same unprofessional actions that leads to nothing but more problems and waste and incredible amount of time. If you can avoid this place please try to do so at all cost. Your child will gain nothing but trauma and will lose trust in phycologists, psychiatrists and anyone with a similar profession.

Looks like a really ominous prison and not a mental hospital. Everything is locked inside and out. Went looking for a bathroom and found nothing but a bunch of children in a locked balcony and security in the park.

I came to this hospital once. Never again and i do not recommend sending anyone here. I came for my depression, suicidal issues and extreme body dysmorphia. Your only goal is to get out of there as soon as possible. You feel as if you have no escape whatsoever and you are watched 24/7. I felt miserable. The staff lies, alot. I feel like they distorted alot of what i said to my parents to make me seem crazy to keep me there longer. If anything this place made me alot sneakier and secretive. I feel like locking us in our rooms most of the day just isolates us and makes us feel worst. Never in my life have i gotten so much medication that really didnt feel necessary. You feel like your in a prison with no type of contact with the outside world. I understand that safety is important, but you can't take EVERYTHING away from us. My pens were taken away out of fear of me mutilating myself with them, in that case have someone supervise me while i draw instead of just raking it away. Please just stay away from this place as much as possible.

It's a jail they torture

(Translated by Google) I spent almost 3 years in these walls… .. I saw almost everything. Even a few friends that I made have died by suicide within these walls. It's been almost 30 years. I don't know if security is still lacking. But I know the Psychiatrists never listened to me, but stuffed me with drugs. As for the food, it was steamed. For all the problems that this hospital caused me to experience 3 year of school failed…. Traumatic to live with patients crazier than me. A closed 23/24 door to intensive care. I had to call in a social worker and a youth lawyer to get out of there. I was 2 hairs away from being transferred to Pinel. (Original) J'ai fait près de 3 ans dans ces murs….. J'ai presque tout vue. Même quelques amis que je me suis fait sont mort(e) suicidé entre ces murs. Cela fait près de 30ans. Je sais pas si la sécurité fait toujours défaut. Mais je sais que les Psychiatres ne m'écoutait jamais, mais me bourrait de médicaments. Pour ce qui est de la bouffe c'était a la vapeur. Pour tout les problème que cette hôpital m'a fait vivre 3 année d'école raté…. Des traumatique a vivre avec des patients plus fou que moi. Une porte barré 23/24 au soin intensif. J'ai du faire appel a une travailleuse social et un avocat de la jeunesse pour sortir de la. J'était a 2 cheveux d'être transféré a Pinel.

can i have the laces of my pants back please they keep falling down 😕

Gaslighters smh

saved my life and they put me back on the right tracks ps : i love you bruno

I went there in mid 2019, I was only 9, and honestly i came there for being helped with stress and helping to control myself but only came out with a trauma. They lied to my mom by saying i would only stay there for a week, then when i asked them they replied with a « your gonna stay here the time it takes » i really endured a lot but this is something, the emotion i felt.. it was like rage mixed up with sadness and betrayal but couldn’t do anything to help it. This place is like a jail, this is the worst place i ever went, hope they changed that system.

give back my hoodie laces pls ):

(Translated by Google) I hardly remember, it was a relatively dark part of my life and all I know is that I almost stayed in this place for a week or so I don't know anymore, I was scared but no one reassured me, and seeing the other comments I'm afraid of what the experience might have been, and I'm sorry to everyone who was forced to, I was forced to lie about my suicidal thoughts in order to get out. the atmosphere is just depressing and the attitude of the staff is often unpleasant. (Original) Je me rapelle peu, c'était une partie relativement sombre de ma vie et tout ce que je sais c'est que j'ai faillit rester a cet endroit pendant une semaine ou je sais plus, j'avais peur mais l'on ne me rassurait pas, et en voyant les autres commentaires j'ai peur de ce que l'expérience aurait pu être, et j'en suis désolé pour tout ceux qui y ont été forcés, j'ai été obligé de mentir concernant mes idées suicidaires afin d'y sortir. l'ambiance y est juste déprimante et l'attitude du personnel souvent désagréable.

i went there a couple years ago when I did a suicide attempt. It was a very good experience for me I made very good friends and even requested to stay a week more to stay with my friends. Two thing that I didnt like about my experience tho was 1. The day I left the hospital one of the guy that was looking at us to watch us he hugged me to say bye and i dont know if im overthinking or reacting but omg I felt SO uncomfortable he hugged me extremely hard and his hand was at the bottom of my back which didn’t make me feel safe at all. But overall during my stay he was one of my favourite. 2.We were once watching tv and a sex scene came up and the the worker said a very weird comment idk i felt a bit uncomfortable. 3.The person who was trying to find a solution with my solution kept telling me I had no other choice but to go to my dads house. I told them multiple times that I would go anywhere but my dad’s house I didn’t want to i didnt feel like it and I wasn’t comfortable going there (he didn’t do anything to me im just uncomfortable i guess) but this truly made me very scared of where I would go and upset about them not listening to me. OH AND when i arrived they said were gonna keep u one day, then they said a week… i stayed for 2-3 months and they refused to let me do my minister exams which ruined many things like I cant get in my program in cegep because of this shortly

(Translated by Google) When a young person refuses to participate in the activities, they threaten to take him to the youth center or to put him in isolation. The young people who are there are not delinquents, they are just people who need help and the threats of the interveners only frustrate the young people and worsen their situation. (Original) Quand un jeune refuse de participer aux activités, ils le menace de l'amèner au centre jeunesse ou de le mettre en isolement. Les jeunes qui sont là bas ne sont pas des délinquants, c'est juste des personnes qui ont besoin d'aide et les menaces des intervenants ne font que frustrer les jeunes et aggraver leur situation

They made me worse, I tried to get out and they tried to manipulate me into staying.

they can't understand that some stuff can take like 3 days and some can take years.

Came here for my anxiety and trauma, got out with worse anxiety and trauma. You will get treated like a lab rat, the staff doesnt actually care about you and your only goal will soon become 'getting out of here as quickly as possible'. Only positive thing is that I'm a better liar now. I also got diagnosed with BPD there but they never actually told me, they just told my mother. During the middle of the night, nurses will make sure you're sleeping by getting in your room and pointing a flashlight on your face. They'll try to censor you if you swear or say your opinions on certain things, they even took away one of my psychology books because I was reading to my roomate about schizophrenia (which she had). They also said that my anxiety wasnt that bad because i didnt ask the nurses for my meds, but they never actually told me i could ask for anxiety meds, and even if they did, i have ANXIETY, I wouldnt walk up to a condescending stranger and ask for pills. You'd be treated way better at Sea World as an orca and you should definitively avoid this hospital at all cost. I was hospitalized a bit more than three years ago and i still have panic attacks and nightmares about being sent back there. Now i literally cannot tell anyone how I feel because i am terrified of being hospitalized once more, which stops me from getting actually better. Sorry for the long review, but this had to be said. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL

I was held in this hospital for a month, I was a 13 year old girl with suicidal intentions, I was forcefully sent to this facility to "get better" Most of the workers constantly threatened me and told me my feelings were invalid. I remember crying because I was emotional about a situation and the workers threatened me, telling me that if I didn't say why I was sad, I wouldn't get my weekend off and see my parents. The “professionals” will do anything to invalidate your feelings. When I told them that I wasn't really getting better, they told me that I was lying and that I was just saying that because I wanted to stay in the hospital (word for word: you can't stay here just to play uno.) I spent my days filling out and reading tons of papers talking about the safety net, about anxiety, about ways to calm my anxiety. (etc…) I was pumped full of medication there, they kept increasing the dose of my medication, while today we found out that the medication they increased me was bad for my mental health and that they made me more suicidal. Any possessions you have will be taken away from you and locked in a cabinet. I understand that losing things happens, but when it belongs to the customers it shouldn't happen... In terms of "rooms" and other rooms, I don't know if it's different in each unit, but I will describe my unit in which I was. So for the bedroom, well the mattresses are as hard as school mats, you have a desk and a locked wardrobe (you have to ask for them to be unlocked depending on your security level), you also have a Intercom, you can ask the speakers to put the radio on. The room is pretty normal for a psychiatric hospital. Food for lunch is either toast, cereal or oatmeal if I remember correctly. For dinner it is the meal according to the menu, the meal is accompanied by soup. For dinner, meal, soup, dessert. (The portions are quite small) After exactly a month, I had a meeting to determine what would happen next… I had to explain that my condition had really gotten worse since I returned to this hospital. I found myself in the emergency section of the hospital. While I was in the emergency section for a few days. The professional who was in charge of me gave me some papers to read… The papers were about personality disorders. The professional had NEVER, but NEVER discussed the fact that I potentially have a personality disorder… I was put in a youth center after a month of stay in this hospital while being told that I could no longer stay in the hospital and that they could no longer do anything for me. I was not a young person who was turbulent or had an addiction or who had violent behavior. I needed help and all I got from this hospital was trauma, large doses of medication that made me even more depressed, and a good dose of anxiety. Don't send your children there, not all the workers are bad, but I will say that half of the staff were insensitive and did not understand the fact that helping a child or teenager is not done in threaten him.

I stayed at this hospital in late 2020 for about two weeks. After reading other reviews i can very easily relate to quite a few of the people here. If you do decide to go there be prepared to be treated badly. I was about 11 when i went there. They told me i would only stay there for 3 days which somehow turned into 2 weeks. They would lie to my mom to make it seem like i was crazy and ungrateful. I felt like most of the people that took care of me and the other kids there were unqualified. They made me feel unheard and made me doubt myself a lot. I dont think anyone should go through that especially at this young age.

They manipulated me mentally and given me trauma.DONT SEND YOUR KID THERE! Or they will get out even more sad.

Empathetic people who take the health of our young people to heart. If you demonstrate will and good faith... The staff: Psychiatrists; nurses; psychologists; social workers; Work with heart, empathy and without judgment. Sometimes, we don't understand why we are here, at the moment, but tell yourself that you are in the best place in Quebec when it comes to Child Psychiatry. Good luck 🙂

Are simply there to make you play with toys to find out if you are autistic 😂😂 now thanks to my courage WITHOUT THE HEALTH SYSTEM I am living my beautiful life!! Don't bring your children there

worst place on earth 💀

The food is very bad but the staff are very attentive
