Eckerd Connects | Boys Residential Academy at Boomer

"The adults behavior is disappointing. The conflicting messages from different staff has to be confusing to the kids. A staff member called my son a narcissist and I had to explain to him what it meant. Hopefully, continuous staff training is in the near future."

"I have been with Eckerd for a little over a year now. When I first came to Eckerd I did not know what to expect, but as I learned the program and connected with the clients and workers here. Each day I grew to love it more and more, of course every place has the ups and downs, but my ups outweigh that and continue to keep me here. My passion for the work that I and many others put into Eckerd is what guides us forward. The work environment gives me at home feeling. I can be myself, everyone is very open and makes you feel very welcomed. Eckerd is not your normal average place of work, this place is filled with a lot of passionate workers who love what they do. Eckerd has taught me so much and I have grown so much with just being an employee at Eckerd. It is an amazing place of business that continues to strive and grow. I recommend Eckerd to those who have a big heart and love to help others grow into their own journey."

"I had an interview at Eckerd with my 14 yr old. My experience was great. The staff made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. I was hoping my son would have gone to this facility but another place became available first. I would highly recommend Eckerd for placement as I would've been very content leaving my baby boy there."
