About Lad Lake - St. Rose Center
Dating back to 1848, Lad Lake has evolved from an orphanage for girls into a social service organization serving more than 1,100 youth and their families each year. Lad Lake – St. Rose Center works with girls who have experienced abuse, neglect, family instability, and trauma. They address these challenges through residential treatment, crisis stabilization, education, outpatient therapy, and mentoring programs.
Helping Girls Navigate Life's Challenges
St. Rose provides residential and community-based programs for girls and young women, with specific programs serving ages 9 to 18. They address alcohol and drug dependencies, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and behavioral conditions. Youth receive psychiatric assessments, individual and family therapy, case management, and substance use counseling. They also operate specialized schools with individualized education plans for students with significant academic difficulties.
Specialized Care for Exploitation Survivors
A residential program for girls who have survived commercial sexual exploitation distinguishes St. Rose’s work in Wisconsin. They provide long-term residential treatment through a family-centered program that includes weekly therapy, safety planning, art therapy, and therapeutic recreation. They also operate Masana, a 24/7 crisis stabilization facility for girls experiencing mental health crises.
