LUK is a not-for-profit social service agency located in Central Massachusetts dedicated to improving the lives of youth and their families. We offer a full spectrum of programs addressing mental health, trauma, addiction and substance abuse prevention, homelessness, and more.

LUK was established on the belief that all people have inherent worth and every community should be empowered to make changes to ensure the well-being of its members. LUK has a long-standing reputation of being person-centered, with qualified, caring, and compassionate professionals working with community members ‘where they are at.’ Each individual works with qualified staff who provide personalized services to help people meet their needs. 

Since their founding in 1970, LUK has offered strength-based services, which means that each person or family receives individualized care, sets their own goals with the support of LUK staff, and has a voice throughout their care. Many of LUK’s staff members have been with the agency for a long time and have helped LUK to grow, develop, and utilize the best models for care.
