Rivarde Juvenile Detention Home

Cheryl Penner Plaisance (Kicker!)

It's been over 25 years since I'd been taken to Rivarde after having skipped school several times and then stole a yellow jeep from the Circle K in Bridge City... I was but a teenager when this took place. I spent a large amount of time there, months! I wanted out of that place so badly!! But they absolutely did prepare me for my release and new lease on life. I was going nowhere very fast before going to Rivarde. I'm now 42 years old with a wonderful husband of 23 years, a beautiful family and a wonderful grandbaby. I never could've gotten this far during my lifetime if I'd continued down that path I was on before the staff at Rivarde helped me see the bigger picture...

The staff really made my son feel comfortable. I was surprised how much they tried to give advise and helped to make my child see the positive and try to help him make better decisions. Ms Violet is wonderful and compassionate. Thank you so much.

Amazing team here, who have been united in their compassion and determination to find the best outcome for the child I advocate for.
