Trainer - Lutherwood

Join Community 

Community Health Network was created by our neighbors, for our neighbors. Over 60 years later, “community” is still the heart of our organization. It means providing our neighbors with the best care possible, backed by state-of-the-art technology. It means getting involved in the communities we serve through volunteer opportunities and benefits initiatives. It means ensuring our dedicated caregivers can learn and grow to stay at the top of their fields and to better serve our patients. And above all, it means exceptional care, simply delivered — and we couldn’t do it without you.

Make a Difference
Lutherwood is a licensed Residential Treatment Facility that specializes in the care and treatment of children ages 13-21 who exhibit behavioral or emotional impairments. We are home to the IMPACT Program, a residential treatment program for girls who have been victims of human trafficking, and Trinity House Independent Living Group Home for young men aged 16-21 who are transitioning from the foster system to the real world. In addition to these programs, Lutherwood is also host to the Emergency Shelter Care, a dedicated dormitory for young adults whom the Department of Child Services has removed from their home. Through these programs, LCFS provides treatment by highly trained staff who utilize a variety of evidence-based practices.
