Residential Treatment

Program Update

4/19/2024: After several discussions and careful deliberations with officials at the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), LSI has decided to transition out of residential services programming. Staff at LSI are working with HHS to transition the young women currently placed at the Bremwood Campus in Waverly to other residential facilities across the state over the next 30 days.

The Bremwood campus is NOT closing.  At this time, LSI will still have employees at Bremwood and will continue to provide other critical services for youth and families.

No child should be labeled as a “bad kid.” At LSI’s Bremwood Residential Treatment Center in Waverly, we see past the labels and focus on helping Iowa’s most vulnerable children thrive. Our campus provides 24-hour mental health services to children and teens with severe emotional or behavioral disorders. We use trauma-informed care to give youth the tools they need to succeed and build futures full of hope.

PREA Compliance

LSI has a zero-tolerance policy relating to sexual assault/rape of a resident and will cooperate in the investigation and prosecution of anyone involved in the sexual assault/rape of a Bremwood resident. The primary responsibility of all LSI employees is resident safety.
