Derek Selznick Supporting Maryhurst

Strengthening and empowering kids & families.

Thank you for making a gift to Maryhurst for GFGL2024! In care you're just hearing about us for the first time today: we're a child welfare and behavioral health nonprofit that operates a variety of programs that are each designed to meet key needs for Kentucky children and families in greatest need.

• Our nationally-recognized residential campuses provide a safe, enriching place for young survivors of abuse to build resilience and prepare for their next steps.
• Our community-based counseling service, Maryhurst Renewal, partners with youth and families seeking behavioral health support. Renewal's mix of services help clear barriers to success at home, at school, and throughout the city. The video above spotlights one facet of Renewal's involvement in the Community Mental Health Project, an initiative funded by Louisville Metro Government that embeds Maryhurst community supports at more than a dozen public and nonprofit sites, where we offer no-cost mental health care.
• Our transitional living and aftercare services create pathways to permanency, stability and ultimately independence. As kids move on from other Maryhurst programs, Aftercare helps them make the transition smooth during an uncertain time.

Any gift you make during GFG will quickly be applied where it’s needed most. It may cover an hour of therapy where a child learns coping skills and tools to overcome their history of trauma.

On behalf of the kids and families we serve, thank you! Learn more about us at www.maryhurst.org.
