Lad Lake is a social service agency with over 175 years of success in serving youth and their families. Each year, we provide support to over 1,100 youth through safety, individualized therapy, skill-building, and hope across three core program areas: out-of-home care (including residential care, crisis stabilization, and treatment for exploited girls), education and academic support, and outpatient therapy and community-based services. Our trauma-informed, evidence-based practices foster healing and hope, helping youth and their families navigate and overcome challenges. At Lad Lake, 95% of the youth in our care come from a family in crisis unable to support them as they wish; and most suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and serious anxiety disorders. Here in our community, Lad Lake is the emergency room of the child welfare system. We provide kids safety, individualized therapy, and skill-building for independence. Whether it's support for foster kids, mentors for troubled youth, or a safe-haven for exploited and abused girls, Lad Lake counselors cultivate stability and self-reliance for more than 1,100 kids and their families every year. For eight generations, Lad Lake has prided itself on evolving to meet tour community's most pressing needs. Our experience tells us the best way to create long-term success is through proven programs that foster healthy relationships, strengthen families, and connect youth to community resources. In this way, we can see that kids get a second chance in life, and opportunities they need to succeed.
