About Maryhurst:

Maryhurst is a nonprofit organization located in Louisville, KY, that first opened its door to women and girls in 1843. Today, Kentucky ranks within the top-five states with the highest child abuse rates. Maryhurst's mission is to work to prevent abuse, restore hope, and empower survivors.

The organization's residential programs, community-based homes, and outpatient clinical programs all work to serve children in the greatest need. Our residential programs break the cycle of abuse using treatments that restore hope and successfully transition children to more permanent, community or family-based settings. Maryhurst's community and transitional living programs offer tools that prepare survivors of abuse and neglect for better, more hope-filled futures. And lastly, the team at Maryhurst Renewal partners with children, adults, and families who are hurting to find the right combination of support, ultimately clearing barriers to success at home, at school, and in the community. Renewal provides one-on-one, group, and family counseling in office, home, or school-based settings.
