July 11, 2024 — There are no fences, barbed wire, or guards at Lighthouse Youth Center at Paint Creek. Instead, this residential treatment campus for boys with behavioral and emotional challenges, many of whom have been adjudicated delinquent by a juvenile court in Ohio, is surrounded by the fields and hills of Ross County, Ohio.
Lighthouse Youth Center at Paint Creek (Paint Creek) is the result of an almost 40-year partnership between the Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS) and Lighthouse Youth & Family Services (Lighthouse) in Cincinnati. Lighthouse, founded in 1969, provides a range of services to help young people 0-24 and their families, including mental and behavioral health service, psychiatric services, emergency shelter, youth housing, and foster care and adoption.
