Our founder, Father Flanagan, was a scientist at heart. He used the cutting-edge psychology and sociology of the day to create a new type of environment that gave his boys their best chance at success. Evidence-based social and psychological treatments, along with a healthy dose of love and spirituality, were the treatments he preferred.
Our research is unique because we take our findings from the lab and apply them to the latest, most innovative care for the children, families and patients we serve. Staying true to our mission of changing the way America cares for children, we share our research nationwide to impact healthy outcomes for children across the country and around the world.
