Maryhurst

Founded in 1843, Maryhurst is the oldest child welfare nonprofit in Kentucky serving kids and families who are hurting. Driven by a belief in children's inherent worth and the strength of family relationships, Maryhurst offers healing through a specialized continuum of care that prevents abuse, restores hope, and empowers survivors of trauma. Programs include individual and family counseling; psychiatric and campus-based residential treatment for girls; and community-based transitional living services and aftercare. Maryhurst is the first agency in the state to fully adopt the trauma-informed care philosophy, and it remains the only residential nonprofit serving adolescent girls diagnosed as severely traumatized by abuse. Maryhurst's programs transform the lives of more than 700 children and their families each year.
