Every person who comes to Edgewood is on a journey. Sometimes it’s one that began long before they walked through our doors. For some, the path starts with a crisis call in the middle of the night. For others, it’s a parent finally finding the courage to ask for help, a teacher noticing a child’s withdrawal, or a grandmother stepping into a new role as primary caregiver.
The “path” at Edgewood isn’t linear. It’s as unique as each person we serve. But what unites every journey is Edgewood’s response. We meet people where they are, walk with them through their challenges, and help them discover their own strength to move forward.
In FY25, we served 4,016 people across a full spectrum of care—from prevention and early intervention programs that keep families healthy before crisis hits, to intensive residential treatment for youth in acute distress. This is the story of those journeys.
Edgewood’s Continuum of Care spans from school-based services to our Crisis Stabilization Unit, from Drop-In Centers where young adults find community to residential homes where children and youth learn to feel safe again.
We design our services around a fundamental belief that the right support at the right time can change everything.
This percentage represents the youth and families served in any of our program or services related to Prevention and Early Intervention.
We strive to reach families before mental health challenges escalate into crisis. Through our Family Resource Center, school-based programs, Kinship Program and support services, Drop-In Centers, and more, we provided 3,302 youth and families with resources, connection, and hope.
This is where transformation begins: a family receiving nutritious food learns about parenting support groups. A teacher trained in trauma-informed practices recognizes a student’s anxiety before it becomes debilitating. A Kinship Program caregiver finds community with others navigating similar challenges.
Prevention isn’t just cost-effective, it is life-changing.
This percentage represents the number of youth and families who received Outpatient Therapy or Community-Based services.
This may have been meeting with therapists in our clinics, school-based support, or through telehealth services. 490 youth and families worked with skilled clinicians who provided individual therapy, family sessions, psychological assessments, and wraparound supports that addressed not just symptoms, but the systems and relationships surrounding each child.
For many families, outpatient care is the bridge between struggling and thriving. It’s where a teenager learns coping skills for managing anxiety, where a parent gains tools to support their child’s emotional regulation, and where families rebuild trust and communication.
This percentage represents the proportion of total people served who were youth who received care through our Crisis Stabilization Unit.
267 children and youth who arrived at Edgewood’s Crisis Stabilization Unit in acute distress received care. For these young people, our CSU is often the difference between psychiatric hospitalization and returning home safely with a plan.
Of the total youth admitted to our CSU, this perecentage were stabilized and diverted from inpatient psychiatric hospitalization.
That means families stayed together, youth avoided the trauma of long-term hospitalization, and care teams created sustainable safety plans rooted in community and family support.
This percentage represents the number of youth who were supported through Intensive Outpatient or Partial Hospitalization programs.
151 youth that we served needed more than weekly therapy, but didn’t require residential placement. These programs offer structured, therapeutic environments during the day while allowing youth to return home each evening to maintain family connection while building critical skills.
Each level of care represents not just a service, but a path to healing.
As we have said, for Edgewood, these aren’t just numbers. They’re Olivia, age 15, who came to our CSU in crisis and left three days later with a safety plan, outpatient therapy scheduled, and her family trained in suicide prevention. They’re Mr. Chen, who called our resource line looking for food assistance and connected with our Kinship Program and services that changed his family’s trajectory. They’re Jordan, who spent six months in residential treatment learning to manage trauma responses and is now thriving in our transitional housing program, working toward independence.*
