Marygrove

Two residential "cottages" on the Marygrove campus in florissant provide a safe and stable home for youth, ages 10-21, while they receive individual, group, and family therapy and case management to heal from trauma and resulting emotional and behavioral issues. Historically, one of the largest residential treatment facilities in Missouri, Marygrove is known for helping youth who have not been successful with other agencies or in other settings to achieve their goals. In fy23, the program served 78 clients and provided 22,500 days of care.

Marygrove's therapeutic foster homes provide support to children and youth with emotional and behavioral issues in a family setting that encourages healthy growth and development. Foster parents help young people develop the skills that will help them transition back to their families, an adoptive home or transitional living. In fy23, the program served 13 clients and provided 8,494 days of care.

Marygrove's independent living program includes scattered-site community-based apartments and houses where young adults, ages 17-20, live independently and receive support with educational, occupational, and mental wellness goals and life skills to help them stabilize their lives and transition to independence. Some residents are pregnant or parenting, so support services such as in-home parenting programs are offered to these young families. There is no live-in supervision, so youth must be able to practice advanced daily living skills such as preparing meals alone, following a schedule independently, and using public transportation for work and school. Young adults are required to either be working or going to school; many do both. In fy23, the program served 62 clients and provided 10,240 days of care.

Marygrove school is an on-campus private special education school for children who struggle to learn in a traditional classroom.

The Marygrove school works in collaboration with over 20 community schools to provide each resident with an educational pathway that will help them achieve academic success and promote positive treatment plan outcomes. In fy23, the Marygrove school served 3 clients.
