Perseus House
Serving at-risk youth and families through evidence based, residential and educational, programming.
Perseus House shifts the focus from asking, “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”. Perseus House has been a place for youth in need of a safe, caring
environment for residential and specialized treatment since 1971. Since that time our services have grown into today’s wide-range of care, including court-ordered juvenile placement, Office of Children and Youth, and Mental Health service housing boys and girls in shelter prior to adjudication or in post-adjudication residential, intensive, or victim offender-specific treatment. Perseus House has responded to the needs of the Erie community and has several Community Based programs to help youth who need special assistance in school and/or before they need residential care. Our goals are to effectively intervene in the lives of seriously troubled adolescents, to assist them in avoiding future contact with the juvenile justice and child welfare systems and to help them toward a successful adulthood. Our treatment programs are designed to strengthen our clients’ and students' sense of ethics, degree of responsibility, and level of maturity. Strengthening healthy relationships, fulfilling legal obligations and employability preparation is also encouraged here at Perseus House. We integrate evidence-based practices into the curriculum and treatment planning of our clients.

🌟 Congratulations to Jessica Martin — Perseus House Employee of the Year! 🌟
We are proud to recognize Jessica for her dedication, compassion, and commitment to the youth and families we serve. Jessica consistently goes above and beyond to make our clients feel welcomed, supported, and valued while also being a tremendous support to her fellow staff.
From assisting with admissions and trainings to taking on a larger role within the Core Team. Most people know Jessica as the Program director of CICTP, our community based program, but many do not know about all of the things she does in the background. Jessica approaches everything she does with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. She is always willing to listen, help, and find ways to make a difference.
💙 Thank you, Jessica, for all you do for our youth, families, and Perseus House team! You truly make a difference every day! 🌟

🇺🇸 Remembering September 11, 2001 🇺🇸
Ms. Bawol had her students learn, reflect, and remember as we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
Through documentaries, meaningful discussions, research, and classroom activities, our students explored the events of September 11 and the lasting impact it had on our country and our communities.
To honor those who lost their lives and all those affected, our students created American flags using their handprints—a simple but meaningful reminder of unity, remembrance, and hope. ❤️🤍💙
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
Thank you Ms. Bawol for teaching this lesson to our students and sharing it.

💛 National Su***de Prevention Day 💛
Being a teenager can come with a lot—school, friendships, family, emotions, and pressures that can sometimes feel overwhelming. You don’t have to handle it all by yourself.
If you’re struggling, feeling hopeless, or just not feeling like yourself, it’s okay to ask for help. Talking to someone you trust can be a powerful first step.
🗣️ Talk to a trusted adult, counselor, teacher, family member, or friend.
📱 Call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
🤝 If you’re worried about a friend, check in, listen without judgment, and help them connect with a trusted adult.
At Perseus House, we believe every young person deserves to be heard, supported, and reminded that their story matters. 💛
You are not a burden. You are not alone. Help is available.
