Catholic Charities Tri-County - Albion (NY)

3 /5 Wendy Roth: I was going to Catholic Charities in Lockport on a regular basis and then all of a sudden all the counselors where leaving. Two weeks before my counselor left, she said she would talk to someone in the Albion office to she if I could transfer there. She called and the person never called her back and I called the person and it took two weeks for her to call me back. It the meantime I did get connected to another counselor but had to wait a month before I could see her. I was leary to get hooked up with Catholic Charities in Albion in case their office would close down too. I want you to know whatever is happening with funding that you put your clients at a high risk. I am going thru a crisis and I had to wait a month to see someone and then on top of that I will have to start all over again developing a new and trusting relationship with my counselor. Going thru this gives me high anxiety and I usually end up losing ground with the progress I have made. Needless to say, I will not recommend Catholic Charities to anyone I know. You just rip the carpet out from beneath us and think that some of your clients will not suffer. I just wonder what happened to all the other clients that were being seen in Lockport because there are not a lot of places to be seen in Niagara or Orleans country. I live in Medina so Lockport worked great for me. I hope this gives some of the higher ups at Catholic Charities something to think about when you make decisions that affect a lot of other peoples lives.
