Mission: Gemma Services (the "doing business as" name of Silver Springs - Martin Luther School) was formed in November 2019 by the merger of Silver Springs-Martin Luther School and theVillage, two nonprofit organizations with a combined 300+ years of dedicated service to vulnerable children and families in the Philadelphia region. Serving thousands of children, youth, and families annually, Gemma Services' mission is to change lives by transforming hope into action for children, youth, and families facing emotional and behavioral challenges.
Target demographics: children, youth, and families
Direct beneficiaries per year: more than 4,000 children, youth, and families.
Geographic areas served: Southeastern Pennsylvania and surrounding counties
Programs: Our Residential Treatment Program provides 24/7 clinical treatment, nurturing, and trauma-focused care for children and youth ages 6-14 who have experienced traumas and/or significant emotional and behavioral difficulties. Our goal is to help them to heal, to learn new skills, and to reach their goals so they can return successfully to a home and community setting. Martin Luther School, located on our Plymouth Meeting campus, is a Pennsylvania Approved Private School and provides special education for K-8th grade for many of the children in our Plymouth Meeting Residential Treatment program and for community students from other school districts. Our overall objective is to help students reach their educational goals. Community Based Programs provide outpatient mental health services; foster family care; adoption; specialized behavioral health support in a child’s home or school; a Family Empowerment Center, and other in-home prevention services. Our goal is to help children, youth, and families achieve their brightest future and to strengthen the communities we serve.
