Founded in 1865, LHYS is a not-for-profit child welfare agency.

Lawrence Hall Youth Services provides highly specialized and individualized care for children and adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral challenges due to trauma, abuse and neglect. Each year, Lawrence Hall’s continuum of care offers a full array of services to nearly 1,000 children, adolescents, and their families through:

• Fully accredited Therapeutic Day School and Diagnostic Education Program;
• Specialized, Traditional and Home-of-Relative Foster Care;
• Acute on-campus Residential Treatment, Family Community Homes, and Specialty Service Centers; and
• Transitional and Independent Living Programs for older adolescents.

Throughout all of Lawrence Hall’s programs, youth benefit from clinical care, therapeutic recreation, art and music therapy, and pastoral care to treat trauma and stabilize behavior. The seamless transition between levels of care within each program and across programs equips our youth with the tools and skills they need to set them on the path toward becoming proud, productive participants in society.
