Child Center Marygrove

The second largest residential treatment facility in Missouri, MARYGROVE is a new beginning for the nearly 650 children served each year. Many arrive at MARYGROVE’s doors with immediate needs that include clean clothes, food and medical treatment. They receive all these things in addition to a safe haven and the nurturing and care of round-the-clock staff and therapeutic treatment from licensed, master’s level therapists.

The children and young adults at MARYGROVE live and grow up in a safe and nurturing environment, and they have an opportunity to heal in a stable, family-like setting. Professional caregivers provide structure while therapists provide an individualized treatment program and counseling to help each child overcome personal obstacles and establish responsible, attainable goals for the short and long-term future.

In addition to residential care and treatment, MARYGROVE provides other services that include: two on-campus classrooms; recreation and art therapy; transitional and independent living services; two therapeutic foster homes; a mentoring program; day and overnight emergency services for children in an abusive or potentially unsafe environment; a crisis nursery for children of parents who are facing overwhelming stress or a family emergency or crisis; a parenting education program; and family counseling.
