About

Bellewood Home for Children provides care services to abused, homeless and at-risk youth and families across Kentucky. Since 1849, our variety of pro-active treatment programs stress education and respectful relationships, teaching clients to lead healthy, independent lives and become contributing members of their communities.

Our Mission

Reclaim, educate and empower struggling youth and their families to lead healthy, independent lives through supportive services and caring staff.

Our Vision

Bellewood is a place where every young person —

• has a safe place to call home
• is connected to a supportive adult
• is equipped with tools for life
• can make a positive contribution to self, family, and society

With headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, Bellewood has administrations in Bowling Green, Lexington, Owensboro and Paducah, offering service to youth and families statewide. Operations are maintained through state and federal funding as well as private donations.
