Beacon Light Opens Residential Facility In Kittanning, Pennsylvania

Beacon Light Behavioral Health System will open its new facility, Kittanning Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility, at the beginning of 2020. The team of professionals at that location will be providing Specialized Therapeutic Residence for Intellectual and Developmental Empowerment (STRIDE) program for youth ages 10 to 18 years old. Beacon Light is responding to the community’s needs—particularly those who have expressed a need for the STRIDE program’s level of behavioral health care.

According to Robert Eddy, LPC, Beacon Light's Senior Treatment Coordinator for MH-IDD Residential Programs, STRIDE has shown to have positive outcomes for vulnerable populations . . .
