We help individuals succeed, families thrive, and communities prosper through social work and therapy.
About us
Lifeline Youth & Family Services was founded in 1968 when a small group of business leaders felt compelled to do something to help kids in trouble who desperately needed a safe and loving home. Now, more than 50 years later, Lifeline continues to work toward the mission of changing hearts and bringing hope to individuals, families, and communities. We have a full range of programs to meet families' needs, whether it's to help make families stronger, help them get back on track once they're in crisis, or to help kids grow into responsible adults. As we've grown in numbers, we have also expanded our service area. We're now working with families in every Indiana county. We are a faith-based organization, rooted in strong Christian values. We are committed to and we adhere to biblical teachings.
