This was an awful experience in my opinion.I was there 2021 It did not help my mental state at all. It made things worse. They push too much on you when you are mentally unstable. Also they can't handle the chaos. I felt very restrained and confined there. School was very difficult too. When I left I finally succeeded in things. Now I am 16 and in college! Residentials and boarding schools are not the answer!! Don't do it!! There are other options. Please don't send if your child has hospital level issues, it will make it worse. They are not able to help. They are untrained and there for money. They made me feel like I was nothing but trouble and helpless.

I was working on my own healing as an adult, and several repressed memories of HOH came up. in fact, I have repressed memories of this place so well I often forget it was a part of my life, despite having stayed here for quite a while. hoh was an extremely traumatic experience where I was made to feel as if I was somehow bad or wrong for acting out symptoms of mental illness. I noticed when looking through the hoh website they advertise themselves as being here to help work on the root of the issue rather than disciplining the behavior, but I can even remember getting in actual discipline trouble for instances of self harm. Im BEGGING that nobody else send their kid here, and seek more legitimate and mental health focused treatment instead. hoh has had a very negative lasting impact on my life . Id also like to point out that there is only *one* positive google review from a girl who stayed here.

One of the worst experiences in my life. Still have issues as an adult talking to legitimate therapists partly because of how my case was handled here in childhood. I would never consider contacting you now as an adult in response to this as a means of healing. If your heart was for your patients you wouldn’t have treated me like you did. If you love them, don’t send your girls here. This place is out to take your money and claim it’s in the name of Jesus. Don’t get in bed with hypocrites.

House of Hope was a fundamental part of my childhood and a journey I am forever grateful for. It shaped me to the woman I am today. I was provided with housing, schooling, counseling, and the most wonderful support group while I was there. The staff was incredible and made me feel safe and loved every step of the way. I would highly recommend this organization.

I've been a psychotherapist in Raleigh since 1999 and have had several teens I've serviced stay at House of Hope when they have been unable to remain in their homes due to emotional and/or behavioral problems. House of Hope has been a lifesaver for them. The staff truly cares about teens and their families. We are lucky to have this valuable resource in our community!
