What Happened at Faison Center

# Safety Concerns at Faison Center in Richmond, VA The Faison Center, a privately-operated residential treatment facility in Richmond, Virginia, came under scrutiny in 2019 following a VPM investigation into its student seclusion practices. The investigation coincided with the facility reporting its highest number of student seclusions on record that same year, raising concerns about the treatment methods being employed at the residential facility. While only two documented incidents have been formally recorded, the concentration of issues in 2019 suggests potential systemic problems with the facility's approach to managing students in their care. Despite these documented concerns about seclusion practices, no lawsuits have been filed against the facility, and no monetary settlements have been reached. The lack of legal action may indicate either that families were unaware of potential legal remedies or that incidents did not rise to the level typically required for successful litigation. If you or a family member experienced inappropriate treatment, excessive seclusion, or other concerning practices at Faison Center, you may wish to consult with an attorney who specializes in institutional abuse cases to understand your legal options and rights.
