Prairie St. John's - My ExperienceA Story by Arizona Hidalgo-Crowe
I honestly wouldn't recommend Prairie St. John's to anyone. I was there back in 2018. I was inpatient twice, and was in the partial program after both inpatient stays. From both experiences, I felt like people there didn't care about my mental health. I felt like they weren't listening to my concerns or what I had to say. The therapist i had at Lakeland mental health in Moorhead listened better than anyone there did. I found out that I have borderline personality disorder, but that was when I was going to Lakeland for therapy. There at Prairie St. John's, they would've been able to help me figure that out if staff there would've just took the time to listen. Prairie St. John's did not help me at all. To this day, I still deal with several mental health issues. Also, I want to include something that happened last year. Last year around April or May, I tried calling in for a needs assessment because I was losing my mind. All they said when I called was "we'll call you tomorrow to do a needs assessment." The next day came, and they never called me to do the needs assessment. I understand the pandemic was going on really bad at that time, but they should've told me if they weren't accepting new patients. They are so lucky I didn't feel like engaging in self injurious behavior that day (you know what I mean) because if I did, that would be on them not me. So Prairie St. John's, you can do better.
