5 EYEWITNESS NEWS is pressing for answers after an organization given millions of dollars is now being investigated.

For weeks now, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has been reporting about issues at Nexus Family Healing in East Bethel.

Matt Look, the East Bethel city administrator, spoke with us in May.  

“We’re very sympathetic about the situation,” he said. “We’re concerned about the programming that’s gone on there, and the kids and the families affected by this temporary suspension of their license.”

Look noted the youth psychiatric facility had been the source of 178 emergency 911 calls in 2025 alone, and that those calls had started about three years ago.

“There were a lot of calls of self-hurting,” he explained. “ Calls of assaults. Calls of kids leaving the facility.”
