What We Do
Bellewood offers five innovative programs to help struggling youth and disruptive families find stability, security and success. We continually adapt our services to meet the changing and often difficult demands of clients. Our mission is to provide a continuum of care with start-to-finish programs that help ensure the success of each individual. In fiscal year 2010-2011, Bellewood served 570 clients.
Bellewood serves each of its clients equally, without regard to race, color, religion or national origin.
Therapeutic Foster Care
Bellewood believes that all children need caring homes where they can grow to become solid adults. We also take into consideration that very often foster children have specific environmental, emotional and educational needs.
Residential Living
Bellewood’s Residential Living Program serves 12-18-year-olds who have been removed from their homes as a result of abuse or neglect and are in the care of Kentucky’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services.
Independent Living
Our Independent Living program provides education and life skills training to young adults ages 18-25 who are either homeless or in the State’s care system.
Transitional Living
This program serves males and females between 16 and 18 years of age who are committed to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services.
Family Preservation
Bellewood strives to take as many proactive approaches to childcare as possible. With this in mind, we offer services to restore unstable families and prevent further turbulence.
