Guiding Growth

Our trauma- informed and evidenced based practices cultivate healing and hope for more than 1,100 youth and their families each year.

Most youth who engage with services at Lad lake have experienced multiple, interrelated traumas which have impacted their overall well-being. Because each child is unique, we take and individualized approach to help understand his or her journey including their strengths which helps build a customized, integrated plan utilizing our continuum of care and community partners.

We believe that all children should have the supports they need to succeed in school and life. But for some, family instability, addiction, inadequate resources and trauma challenge that support.
