Lutheran Community Services Northwest is a nonprofit human-services agency dedicated to empowering and healing the children, individuals and families in crisis within our community since 1956. Working with accredited therapists and highly effective programs, we offer support to people whose lives are broken from trauma, helping them to pick up the pieces and feel whole again.

We are the area’s largest provider of children’s mental health services.
In 2011, we provided support for 1644 children who suffered from abuse, neglect, drug endangerment, economic instability, depression and other serious emotional and physical problems. In addition to our clinical services, our Child Welfare program places youth from extreme cases of trauma, abuse and neglect into structured foster care with 24 hour wrap around support for children, teens and the foster parents.
