Interested in supporting youth as they exit residential treatment care? Lighthouse offers multiple residential treatment programs for youth that have experienced trauma. These youth are in Lighthouse's care for an extended period of time where they consistently communicate with therapists, case managers, and staff. Lighthouse works towards allowing these youth to talk through their trauma and past experiences so that they can have a better footing as they exit our programs.
In saying this, our programs try to ensure that these youth are provided "going away" bags. These bags are full of items that can give these youth some sort of foundation and reward as they enter back into society. Lighthouse would love your support to receive donations of these items in pre-made bags. Listed below are a general list of items we try to provide, but we are open to adding any additional items you would like to provide. Thank you and please reach out to Jordan Ulrey at julrey@lys.org or 513-638-8149 to answer any questions you may have.
