From its community centered beginnings in 1974, Solutions for Living has been an innovator and leader in the delivery of home-based outreach therapeutic and advocacy services.
Our multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals provides adults, children, teens, families, and couples with counseling and conflict resolution in order to assist with finding solutions to life’s difficult problems.
Founded by Richard Bedine, Esq. in 1974 as the Lynn Youth Resource Bureau, Solutions for Living has successfully pioneered innovative methods of therapeutic programming for a diverse population of individuals, youth, parents and families. More information about our founder is available HERE.
We are proud of our more than forty-year history serving multi-challenged families throughout Eastern Massachusetts. In this time, we have gained regional recognition by establishing ourselves as leaders in the field of home-based services.
As one of the first providers in Massachusetts to professionalize home-based and community-oriented services, Solutions for Living designed and implemented flexible and innovative programs. While we developed our own unique intervention model, our philosophy is rooted in the strength-based approaches of noted researchers.
Solutions for Living’s model emphasizes strengths and personal potential, views individuals and families as competent and resilient and empowers clients to actively participate in their own growth.
All of our programs at Solutions for Living embody a commitment to the promotion of self-enhancing behaviors and practical skills. While emphasizing client strengths, we address problems as life challenges in need of creative solutions.
In the near future, we look forward to the expansion of our insurance and self-care group practice. We will also be ensuring that all of our staff members are trained in trauma informed practice. Additionally, we intend to increase community engagement by offering trainings and educational seminars.
