Our History

Orion Family Services is the evolution of Sunburst Family Services (SFS), a branch of Sunburst Youth Homes (SYH), a residential treatment facility in Neillsville, Wisconsin. SYH offered group home, foster home, and in-home therapy as part of its service array, which served 12 counties throughout southern Wisconsin.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of staff across the agency, after SYH faced financial hardship, the transition to Orion was seamless. Today, Orion continues to advance its mission of promoting well-being through compassionate mental health and community services. It provides critical services to children, youth, and families across southern Wisconsin.
