Glade Run Lutheran Services

Community Services include a variety of programs including behavioral health rehabilitative Services ("bhrs"), family-based mental health Services, outpatient counseling, school-based behavioral health and support Services, and psychiatric rehabilitation Services, also known as "epic" (empowering people in community). For bhrs, the objective is to provide "wraparound" Services to the child or youth in his or her community. A comprehensive individualized service plan is developed for each client and his or her family. This plan is developed using a strength-based model of intervention with a strong incorporation of the client's natural community supports. Family-based mental health Services are psychiatrist prescribed, medically necessary service, and offers intensive in-home Services to families whose child has a mental health diagnosis and who is at risk of out-of-home placement, including possible psychiatric hospitalization. Outpatient counseling Services include individual, family, and group therapy for a variety of mental health problems such as marital or family abuse, depression, and other mental health problems. Glade Run's psychiatric rehabilitation service program offers site based and mobile Services to meet the individual needs of adults with severe, chronic, mental health diagnoses. This program incorporates individual self-help approaches that allow clients to retain control over their own lives. Clients are actively involved in all aspects of planning, setting their own goals and deciding what Services they will receive. Glade Run Lutheran Services served 3,935 clients in 18 counties through these programs during the past year.

The family wellness program (fwp) is a short-term, supportive housing program for families referred by butler county children youth Services (cys). Services provided to families by fwp vary based on a family's needs and abilities. Fwp provides temporary, safe and secure shelter for families experiencing housing adversities and are at risk of being separated. Those in the program are assigned a program coordinator that works with the family to identify goals and needs to achieve self-sufficiency. Services provided to families include case-management, child care, transportation, support coordination, housing education, budgeting and finances and life-skills coaching. The primary goal of fwp is autonomy and independence for parents and the family. Housing and Services are provided on the service corporation's campus and serves butler county families.

Education program - the primary purpose of the education program is to facilitate academic learning with at-risk youth who have emotional and behavioral disturbances. The education program consists of offerings of st. stephen's Lutheran academy and st. stephen's utica. Glade Run Lutheran Services served 366 students and 56 school districts through this program during the past year.

Acute partial hospitalization - the acute partial hospitalization program is a short-term, intensive therapeutic day program designed to stabilize children experiencing significant psychiatric challenges with the goal of deterring inpatient hospitalization. It is appropriate for children ages 12 to 18 (up to 21 for children with special conditions; exceptions may be made for children ages 10 to 11) who do not require inpatient treatment, but are in need of more intensive treatment than outpatient Services can provide. This short-term intensive level of care allows children to benefit from consistent, structured treatment while maintaining their education and usual living arrangements with their families.
