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

Through collaborative 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 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.

Each year, thousands of children and families find their path through a variety of home, school and community-based services. Our 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.

“All Kids Thrive.”

At Pressley Ridge, we share a dream that one day all kids may thrive. All of our efforts every day are directed at creating a world in which our vision can become a reality.

Our Mission

“To do whatever it takes to create success for children and families.”

Our mission statement speaks to our complete and unequivocal commitment to do everything in our power to improve the lives of children and families everywhere—especially those whose lives we touch. There is no challenge too big or barrier too strong to keep us from doing our utmost on their behalf. We succeed when they succeed.
