Our faith-based heritage and rich tradition of service

Residential Treatment Program provides 24/7 clinical treatment, nurturing, and trauma-focused care for children and youth ages 6-14 who have experienced traumas and/or significant emotional and behavioral challenges. Our goal is to help them heal and strengthen their coping skills so they can thrive at home, at school, and in their communities.

Education is provided through Martin Luther School, a licensed, private academic school. Our overall objective is to help students reach their academic and social and emotional learning goals. Martin Luther School, located in Plymouth Meeting, is a Pennsylvania Approved Private School that provides special education for K-12th grade students referred from school districts throughout the area, as well as many children served by our Residential Treatment Program.

Community Based Programs provide outpatient mental health services; foster family care; adoption; specialized behavioral health support in a child’s home or school; a Family Empowerment Center, and other in-home prevention services. Our goal is to help children, youth, and families achieve their brightest future and to strengthen the communities we serve.
