Lakeside has been providing services to children, families and communities that have faced many forms of adversity for over 60 years. Based in Montgomery County, Lakeside currently operates 4 schools that provide educational, clinical and behavior management services for students who are being referred by regional school districts that have identified these students to be in need of specialized emotional and educational support. Lakeside also provides in-school counseling to most of our regional schools and a mobile support program which offers tutoring and counseling to students on-site in our community. All of Lakeside's programs are trauma-informed in their philosophy and therapeutic interventions. Annually, Lakeside impacts over 3500 students residing in 45 school districts that are located in 7 Pennsylvania counties.Lakeside's seasoned capacity and successes in trauma-informed care for students have led to many requests for training for professionals, schools, systems of care and organizations. To respond to this need, Lakeside has designed specific training and coaching for schools, trauma workshops for professionals, trauma competent intensive training which leads to certification and organizational trauma responsive training and certification. Lakeside has also worked in higher education to help regional universities offer trauma education to students and staff. Lakeside has trained hundreds of schools and organizations, over 50,000 professionals and currently provides training in 65 of the 67 counties within Pennsylvania. During COVID-19 Lakeside's schools and trainings have adapted to becoming available live and on-line with both synchronous and asynchronous formats which has allowed students and participants accessibility while in quarantine and/or limited ability to attend live training.
