Serving children, teens and families in Northeastern Pennsylvania since 1889, Lourdesmont Youth and Family Services is committed to helping those who are feeling most vulnerable, frightened and alienated trying to cope with life crises. Lourdesmont is owned and operated by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, an international community of religiously committed women who draw upon a rich 350-year tradition of providing affirmation to the individual troubled or lost in society. Guided and animated by our core values of mercy, reconciliation, individual worth and zeal, together with those we serve, we find new approaches to living successfully in today’s world. Entirely community-based, with services delivered in neighborhoods, in schools, and in homes, Lourdesmont is a nonprofit agency that empowers Northeastern Pennsylvania individuals and families to reach their full potential through therapeutic behavioral health, 24-hour, on-call services. Psycho-social-educational intervention is offered through treatment and outreach programs for children, youth and families that present emotional, social, and/or behavioral concerns. Lourdesmont is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation. Lourdesmont is also licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, and Multisystemic Therapy Services, Inc.
