Tops Office Solutions

Fantastic experience. I'm not too sure about the other negative reviews but the staff have been great. Communication is on point and the help they are getting is phenomenal. They do not allow "criminals" into the program as they have a very rigorous screening process.

My son was terrified when I left him there. Some of the youth are court appointed to be there and he was scared because they were real criminals like a pedophile, car theft and very serious mental health issues who’ve done very bad things. These are the youth your child will be associating with, making friends with and learning more bad things from. My sons allotted 15 min phone call per week was monitored and he wasn’t aloud to say anything bad about Venture or his negative feelings.

I can’t believe they haven’t been shut down. The staff running this program are under trained/educated and are not equipped to provide a therapeutic environment as needed for children who are mentally ill or struggling in any way. The host homes are impersonal and lack food. The $15 k monthly fee will only help your child gain trauma experience. Please read the other reviews and do not send your child to Venture Academy. The intake people are selling garbage to desperate parents.

I was a student at both the Kelowna and the Ontario locations. While attending the Ontario campus I discovered I was pregnant, and the teachers began to withhold prenatal care to get me to participate and cooperate. If I was feeling too ill to do rigorous CrossFit training they would cancel my scheduled phone calls with my parents. If I was misbehaving they refused to send my letters home or give me my parents letters. They actively tried to get me to quit taking my psych meds. Do not recommend.

I was a youth there and it was terrible. They use messed up kids to get money and don’t properly help them. I have severe abandonment issues and they kept me away from my family and never helped me with them, they were trying to force my family to keep me there after my family asked to take me home after the 30 days. They had an unregistered group therapist and the one on one therapy was horrible. I 100% do not recommend this place. I got lice from there too and they didn’t treat it properly
