Anonymous’ Prairie Care Residential Treatment Testimony

I stayed in Prairie Care Residential for a little over 3 months before getting kicked out because I couldn’t pay my first month there I had no therapist. While I was there I watched numerous assaults one in which a teenage boy hit a staff member and then was wrestled by two different staff members until they had pull off his shirt these staff members had wrestled with him for about 20 minutes while that was happening another kid was assaulted by a different kid and the kid who was assaulted was not guided out of the room or helped I had to take her hand and guide her to the door which was locked and bang on the door until someone saw us and let us out. A different time a staff named Dylan put me in a physical hold for sucking on my finger and I felt that this wasn’t warranted and caused me extremely nervous and get panic attacks around Dylan one night while I was having a panic attack because of him He and another staff Beth cornered me to make us talk about are different and when I brought up the physical hold he started yelling at me and telling because I was having a anxiety attack I didn’t remember what happen (I remember it in extreme detail) he yelled at me telling me I was making shit up that I was targeting him that he could never abuse anyone because he was employee of the year all while I was crying and hyperventilating prairie care residential made me significantly worse before I whent there I had never head banged being there I did it a lot I had never been violent before prairie care prairies care isolated me from my friends and family and because of them I don’t trust therapists because of them I get flash backs and panic attacks thinking about my time there I’m sure I have more stories but I don’t feel like thinking about prairie care that deeply also they would use physical holds as a form of punishment
