The Hume Center- Concord

I happened to catch a really negative comment posted for the center and read it thoroughly thinking it was just a bad day for child and therapist connecting or, I do this often, but maybe it was you. Maybe you had a rough day.
Sunday, I took both my kids aged 11 and six to target to get my oldest son his birthday present which was a new bike. My youngest son is autistic and target is not a good store for autistic children. Moving forward most of it, my son had a meltdown because of the lights or the music or something in the store. He took off down the hall and his older brother kept him from getting away. You think people are near my son would stop and help as I was yelling to my son but not one did. They are sat there as my oldest son was bitten. This time there was no blood.
You want to complain about this place whinning, you don’t understand that this place has truly helped people. Not just they came into an office, and sat down, but because they truly love their job. I suddenly had two help me with calm down the screaming of my youngest and also help my oldest after being bitten. No one else bothered to help. Workers and customers alike, even supervisors… Sat and watched. They just stared at these two therapists step in and help a mom who was obviously struggling, when they could have walked by… It was the weekend.
They both helped one child. The man helped with my son who is autistic, while the woman helped my oldest, who was visibly shaking, find someone with a bandaid. The pair didn’t stop when the crying stopped, they walked me to my car listen while I discussed ABA and behavioral stuff, and the guy made a point in asking if I had support as well. They did NOT have a clock to end the session, or an insurance carrier to bill. This was a three day weekend, and this was done on their time. They did it without getting paid. And I don’t even know their names!
So how dare you complain because it was a bad session for your son. Or that you hate this place for one small event. You really want to help your child, become part of the solution and part of the team of people for your child.
When was the last time yet phone call or an email with your therapist checking in? Are you the type of parents that EXPECT your child to get this service? Who does the job because that’s all they could get when it comes to working or are you doing everything you need to do for your child? if you are like me, I wouldn’t judge a therapy center on ONE event, I would talk to the therapist, and then supervisor and so on. Rather than accepting and quiting one center, I’ve spent hours on my phone, trying to find a solution, rather than being part of the problem. My «two angels» were there for me, and my kids, when I wasn’t able to do a thing. I am assuming from comments that you would just be watching me sink, rather than helping a mom, watch her child be hurt, by his own brother.
I know that I’ve had some bad teachers some horrible therapists believe me! And some people I literally went off on! But that’s their job and you might not always like what they say. But I was never ever get onto a site like this and bad mouth any who works in a profession like this.
And one more thing, if you are coming onto a site that services children and/​or adults that need help emotionally or mentally, or anyway… And badmouthing the location? What effect do you think the client might have if they are vulnerable and read posts like yours? What if they are already suicidal? What would happen, if it were me, at the begining of my therapy, and I was still stupid enough to listen people like you like I used to be?
What about the rape survivors, domestic assault victims, battered wives, who could ALL be me if the wind blows then? And I read your uneducated post and listen to you, and stop going to my therapist… well, I know what people like myself do when someone is stupid enough to write posts like yours.
They give up.
I’m so glad I Unilocaled after years of therapy, at a great center, and didn’t meet people like you. People are stupid enough to Unilocal a therapist, to those people, I say DONT Unilocal A THERAPIST!!! People are all different! Their story is theirs, not yours.
And to people who badmouth therapy offices, should realize you are potentially keeping someone, who you didn’t like, from an INCREDIBLE therapist.
To OUT angels at HUME Center???
WE LOVE YOU!!! And thank you!!!

They are the worst place to go for treatment. They will try to get you in there and try to give you a treatment plan but never follow through with it
