Akron Children's Psychiatric Intake Response Center

"Dont waste your time bringing you child. They do not help. They dont admit kids when its clear they need to be in a unit. Not sure what's changed because they used to be amazing and actually did help. Not anymore and if you question them sending your child home and ask where else you can take them they send a cop in to say go home or go to juvenile detention center."

"I would give it zero stars if I could. Clinicians assessment skills (had 3 different ones with our son at this point) are pathetic. They make assumptions about parents, document things incorrectly, and don’t actually converse with the children that are being assessed in any sort of helpful way. We’ve expressed our dissatisfaction with patient relations multiple times. There’s already been an incident where our son was discharged and shouldn’t have been, and he assaulted our daughter. She’s in intensive therapy because of the harm her brother caused. That’s negligent and inexcusable. The most recent reason for refusing hospitalization for our son is because his issues are “chronic” and this is his “baseline.” When he makes good on the threats he’s making, we will be calling the licensure board and reporting every clinician and physician who was a part of the decision making process. Don’t bother taking your children here. They don’t actually want to help you or your child."
