Company profile

Together we provide mental health services to adults, children and families in both community-based and residential settings. Individually, BLARS primarily provides residential programs for adults, while BLBHS provides community-based and residential programs for children, as well as community-based programs for adults.

The Beacon Light companies are affiliates of Journey Health System, headquartered in Bradford, PA. Both Beacon Light companies have facilities in Bradford, Warren, Ulster, McClure, and State College, PA, while also serving clients from virtually every county throughout the state.

Our mission is to advocate passionately for the individuals and families we serve.

Statistics vary, but as many as 1 in every 8 American adults will struggle with mental illness at some point during life. But unlike a cold or the flu, many mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar, or schizophrenia are less understood by regular physicians, family members, or even the individual suffering from it.  Admitting to mental illness can also make an individual feel embarrassed, treated differently, or even ostracized by friends or loved ones. Seeking help can feel confusing or be seen as a sign of weakness.  But Beacon Light Behavioral Health System can help. We provide several outpatient programs for adults seeking the path to recovery from mental illness.

Beacon Light Adult Outpatient Services

For the families of children struggling through mental or behavioral health challenges, daily life can be difficult and parents may not know where to turn or what services or options are available.  Beacon Light offers a variety of community-based programs that work with children and families in their homes or schools. These programs are designed to help children cope with the struggles of mental and behavioral health issues without being removed from their home environment. Because no two individuals are the same, Beacon Light offers a variety of programs so that different approaches can be tried until a successful one is found.
