About this facility
Missouri Girls Town is a safe place for abused and neglected girls to heal and grow. The center helps youth overcome trauma by providing full-time care, therapy, and support. What makes Missouri Girls Town special is its focus only on girls and its strong, family-like environment. Their goal is to stop the cycle of hopelessness and teach life-changing skills.
Girls at Missouri Girls Town receive personalized therapy that fits their needs. This includes one-on-one, group, and family therapy. The center uses special therapy models like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). These therapies help girls build trust, manage emotions, and learn how to handle tough situations in a healthy way.
Girls live on campus in a caring, stable home setting with round-the-clock support. They go to school on-site, learn life skills, and enjoy fun activities like sports and arts. Staff members act as positive role models, creating a family feeling many girls have never had. The goal is to help each girl become strong and independent.
