Reviews of CPRI (Psychiatrist)

Hiba-tul Naseer Maheen

CPRI is a great place and the St. Luke in the Garden Chapel is an amazing place to get married. However, a word of warning do not use the organist Louise M. Munroe. We made the mistake of trusting her as she is an elderly lady and paid her almost a year in advance and we were not provided a contract. She is also not very professional and called us 7 days before the wedding to find out what exactly is she doing....when we told her we did not require her services she took 50% of our money for no good reason...she had not even put a minute of her time towards our wedding even when we asked her in our initial meeting (She told us she met us that is why she is keeping 50% and we drove from Toronto to meet her in her own home...this is how absurd the reasoning was given to us). When we tried to talk to her she was very unreasonable and told us she was being very generous by giving us 50% of our money back. And frankly legally she owes it all back to us because there was no contract signed and even when a contract is signed you only lose 10-12%.

Very organized and specialized child psychiatry facility. Great staff and services.

Unfortunately placing your child in the care of these people will only be the introduction into a system of hardship and pain. The schooling here is a complete joke. The psychiatrists are incompetent and will make a diagnosis to appease parents that are too cowardly to raise a challenging child. People fail to recognize the strength of their own minds and people like the workers here are waiting in the shadows to exploit it.

I was taken from home at 10 and of all the places I was in THE most memorable was CPRI , it was 74' and I had just spent 2 years in Salvation Army's Children's Village , I was sent to CPRI for 30 day observation, at least that's what I was told , and when there I met a woman named Anita and another named Maureen that made it a memorable Maureen even took me to her mother's home to go swimming in the pool and roller skating another time. I wish I could thank them now. It's sad ???? so many people had such a bad experience while I never felt so loved and cared about.

Horrible place. I was there as a kid twice and it traumatized me. I would advise any parent to avoid sending their children there. I understand that as a kid I was a handful due to neurobehavioral trouble but still I would advise parents with kids in the same situation to avoid sending there children there. It will forever affect these children and traumatize them. The place is very rough and tough and it causes nothing but long lasting pain. It will not help you grow it will only cause you suffering. There has to be other options that will not do as much damage to your children. Also remember this place is facing a class action lawsuit for abuse.

I was a 5 to 6 year old and my experience was child abuse for the year and a half .it has wreaked my life . I would recommend you go to family counseling..parenting classes whatever but but never give up on you child he or she doesnt know any better you need to teach them

I lived here decades ago. The people who worked with me helped me when nobody else had the time. They recognized my capabilities and encouraged them. Cannot reccomend enough. 6 figures today.

Having gone here myself for up until 2011 when they still had buses coming here, before everything changed, I can say CPRI Was great! I returned again in 2015 for 3 months residential. Nothing has changed since! Great staff. Great Management. I would recommend this place to kids needing help.

Staff were great and friendly. I was misdiagnosed with an anxiety disorder that I later found out and recieved treatment for ADHD. However, it's understandable considering the symptoms are somewhat similar and I was a teen. Overall, I would recommend this place.

Just no

I was there in 1990 for 5 months and had a relatively good experience. A few minor incidents but nothing abusive. Staff always treated me with respect and dignity regardless of the little jerk i acted like. This is not to say that abuse didn't happen as there were many different wards that i never saw and not to mention the 40 other years. I was in many institutions before i changed my life and there was no doubt abuse at many of them. I was disappointed to hear of the abuse as i always had good things to say.

I recognise the buidling very much. I remember my mom and dad taking me for an appointment here to get diagnosed with whatever it was that was going on with me. They diagnosed me with Aspergers and anxiety. From what I remember the child psychologist who saw me (dr. Zanto) was really nice. The only thing negative thing I remember was hearing someone crying down the hall. I think it was a mom. Not sure. But other than that my experienene was good. I think i was about 9ish. I can remember going there and the psychologist met with me and my parents. Then i went to another room with the psychologist and she observed me and talked to me and watch me play. As far as abuse I dont remember experiencing anything. I gave 3 stars becuase it wasnt overly terrible but not overly awesome.

Straight up goofs they instigate the children to the point of violence then say they're not mentally stable enough to be back around the general population

anthony bauman

people say that cpri was a bad place to live. they are wrong cpri teaches you life skills and teaches how to be a postive human being and they help me a lot.

Not only did CPRI do absolutely nothing to help my son, they also spent their time trying to blame us as parents even though we went to them desperately searching for help. They gave a diagnosis and then made us feel crazy for asking if this diagnosis could cause a lot of the behaviors my son had. They literally played it off like it was all on us, it wasn't his diagnosis. I almost had a breakdown which of course they used against me as well. It was not until I joined a group of other parents who have kids with the same diagnosis that I realized that ALL of his behaviour fit into that and in fact, it was NOT our fault. I quit my job and focussed solely on him (and his brother), I learned about his diagnosis and he turned into a completely different child with almost no behaviors at all. Most useless "Doctors" I have met in my entire life. They have no business doing this job.

CPRI and its staff in our encounter was excellent. We wanted a sound diagnosis, not a bunch of "maybes" the untrained doctors were feedig us, And we got it at CPRI. Someone may not agree or find the CPRI environment not to their liking. it is NOT a home, nor a babysitting place. However, do not forget the purpose of the facility. The staff follows their regulations, their tests and so on. If you don't like it, or think you can do better on your own, keep your kid at home.

I would NEVER take my child near these people again ! Their website says "All of our services are voluntary" , but what they don't warn you about is that if you don't accept and follow their "advice", they have no trouble reporting you to CAS . And good luck trying to complain about them .........They get 5 STARS at "passing the buck"

joseph rutherford

not my cup of tea but it helps. but thanks for helping me get better.

Josh Jamieson

Was there when I was little didn't get the help I needed some staff were alright, the others ones were horrible seemed to treat you like non human. They threw me in a little room when they used to have these old houses are not there anymore and that was if I was too bad threw me a small broom closet held me down back in early 90 so don't go

Shut this place down

When I was 16-17 ( 23 now) I attended the CPRI in London for the year program and was housed 5 days a week. I went home on the weekends with some exceptions where I was held on weekends due to suicidal thoughts. Long story short this program was extremely useless. I used to have a gaming addiction when I lived with my family. My parents were both trying to figure out the safest and easiest way to adjust my gaming time. CPRI's suggestion was to "just give him free range". That was the first mistake. They then stripped me of my medications to "evaluate how I do without them". Needless to say that was a nightmare for me. I was constantly depressed, angry and often aggressive. I finally was discharged after the year was up and was assured we'd have a check in worker follow up with a visit. It has now been almost 6 years and that person has still yet to come. I live on my own now and I doubt anything will happen.
