SBHS Reviews

Patients are sometimes aggressive so good reflex is a MUST HAVE. Staffing wise - I've worked on days when we didn't have enough staff in the unit. That really puts your safety at risk, as well as the patients'. Also, we've had patients who'd been admitted multiple times. Some of these kids do not belong in this hospital. They need special treatment and putting them with the rest of the patients gives the unit an unsafe environment. Pay rate - rate is low for how demanding the job is. BHTs do more physical and mental work for these patients

php and iop staffed are overworked and underpaid; administration micromanages without building trust with employees who are afraid of being fired, or shamed. For a program that is "trauma informed" there is a high level of denial on the part of the administration regarding the need for staff support in processing the daily trauma of working in mental health and the consequent impact on the quality of patient treatment. Staff retainment is poor.
