Alice C. Tyler Village of Childhelp

I won't recommend the place. My son was at this place in 2024 for 11 month. At first things wasn't bad. I was visiting my son weekly and I would take him for walks, we will play outside for few hours. My son started get better than I been told to stop doing all fun stuff cause it's to good ( not healthy good). When my son started go for visits home things got very bad. One day on home visit day I got email (from teacher) saying that my son in classroom started to hit tables, started scratching his face, pull his hair out and started to have fome around his mouth. I got there, my son was happy and no scratches on his face or any damages to him. When I asked him what was happened he had no idea what I was talking about. Every time before go home for weekends something will happened, they just didn't want him go home. There was incident where stuff member stepped on my son's head, another stuff member dragged my son of a bed by his arm and dragged to hallway. My son been over drugged to a point he was rolling his eyes and looking like a zombie and they continued to increase medication. At this place my son was diagnosed with tourette and was recommended to start medication but no other professionals out of childhelp found even small singhs of tourette. Childhelp didn't help my son with his trauma, he absolutely didn't get proper therapy, there weren't equine assisted therapy ( EAT) wich is a patr of therapy at childhelp, didn't provide addiction, Was alot of miss leading on my son's diagnosis and behaviors.

If this place is an option and not forced, then I would avoid it like a plague. Not only was it not beneficial, but it was actually harmful. He went from having behavioural issues like a typical autistic child, to learning all kinds cursing and sexual terminology. Regularly he was dirty and greasy like the staff was allowing him to not keep up with his hygiene. We brought him all kinds of clothes which was apparently kept by child help or allowed to be picked through by other kids there since when he was removed from the one residence they allowed other children to "pack up his things". They also put him on such a high dose of meds that we saw him twitching at a visit. The psych doctor apparently attempted to diagnose my girlfriend with tourettes when she voiced her concerns. Then when video meetings came up she was regularly talked over and talk to in a rude manner. This place is an obscene joke. Now that her son is going to a different place he has improved drastically in less than half the time...

Gave a one time donation after being ambushed by their team on a sidewalk in West Chester. A “one time” donation turned into a monthly charge that was impossible to cancel. Once I realized, I called and was informed that this happens a lot and they transferred me to their subscription department. The subscription department is apparently just a voicemail that goes unanswered. Investigating them and reporting to AG.

I miss that place, I was in foster care and my favorite thing there was horse back riding,biking though the creeks,the gym and the classes especially on hoildays

I was approached by their ambassador in person to make a donation. I made a one time donation- and low and behold they started charging my credit card monthly- without my permission or knowledge. Took me hours to dispute the charges. They are predatory, liars, and a terrible organization. Taking advantage of the kindness of others. I am certainly going to think twice about donating to other organizations. I have already reported this company. They are terrible.

I grew up in foster care and was at Child Help from about 2000-2003. It was an amazing place for a kid in my predicament. Horses to ride all the nature surrounding it. Whole I was there they built the gym, mini petting zoo as well as other things. We had season tickets to Kings Dominion. Food was always delicious and I was never left hungry. The staff and ppl there really left an impression on my life and I am eternally grateful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Safe Place to Heal — For Survivors and Their Children Finding the courage to reach out for help was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but this domestic abuse treatment center made me feel safe from the moment I walked through their doors. The staff welcomed me without judgment and treated me with such care and kindness that I finally felt seen and understood. What meant the most to me was that they didn’t just help me — they also cared deeply for my child. Through their partnership with Childhelp USA, they connected us to extra support designed specifically for children who have experienced or witnessed abuse. Childhelp’s team and resources provided gentle counseling and a comforting space where my child could begin to heal in their own way, without fear. The therapy, support groups, and practical help with things like housing and legal guidance gave me hope when I felt completely lost. I found strength in meeting others who shared similar stories — I realized I wasn’t alone anymore. This place gave me back my voice and helped me believe in a future for both myself and my child. I will always be grateful for the patient, loving care we received. If you or someone you know needs a safe place to find support and start over, I hope you find this kind of help too. You are not alone — and help is out there.

ChildHelp USA offer the resources necessary to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I also felt safe, supported and empowered during my most vulnerable time and I'm very grateful!
