Overview

Mission

Glade Run Lutheran Services was founded in 1854 by Rev. Dr. William Passavant in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, and has evolved to meet the changing needs of children, adults, and families throughout Western Pennsylvania and beyond, linking faith and service through education, mental health, developmental disabilities, community monitoring and supports, supportive housing, and therapeutic offerings.

What it reported doing in 2024

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.
