Pressley Ridge

Providing individuals and families with hope and support through life’s challenges.

Through collaborative and inclusive relationships, Pressley Ridge empowers children and families to transform their lives and develop to their full potential. We believe our differences are our strengths, and we are committed to embracing a culture of respect and dignity.

Pressley Ridge was founded in 1832 and remains headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Over the course of nearly two centuries, we have continued to evolve to serve diverse communities, as well as the needs of the most complex youth and families. A legacy of successful outcomes has enabled us to expand to serve communities in Central Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Texas.

Pressley Ridge Services

Each year, thousands of children and families find their path through a variety of home, school and community-based services. Our more than 70 innovative programs provide a safe and supportive environment where children, youth and families can work to increase their sense of wellbeing and achieve sustainable, positive outcomes.

Pressley Ridge is a vital resource that provides a continuum of services, including:

• In-Home Mental Health and Family Preservation Services: Individualized mental health and supportive services designed to strengthen, preserve and keep families together in order to overcome whatever challenges they may be facing, so that children can remain at home, and in their own schools and communities.

• Foster Care & Adoption: Trained foster parents ensure children are safe and well cared for in a secure and stable home while we work to reunite them with their biological families or find an adoptive family when reunification isn’t an option.

• Supportive Services for Transition-Age Youth: Programs offering youth the essential skills and support to make a sound transition into adulthood, including workforce development.
