Before coming to Missouri Girls Town, our clients have typically been through nine failed placements which may have included foster care or other residential centers, hospitalization, relatives, and failed adoptions. We desire to break the cycle of hopelessness by showing each client a healthy family environment where they can learn the skills necessary to one day care for themselves.

Client Testimonials
MGT helped me by providing a safe environment to grow up and mature to adulthood. It provided counselors and houseparent’s that gave me unconditional love and guidance.
I was removed from my dad’s for sexual abuse and put in custody. After bouncing around to a foster home, charter hospital, and other groups, I was finally placed in MGT a scared, damaged, confused, and angry girl. MGT was a huge family to me.The staff, house moms, and especially the girls help me become the woman I am today.
I learned the importance of family. It didn’t matter that I wasn’t a biological daughter to the house mothers. They loved and cared about me. I told myself that when I have children I want to be close to them and I want them to know every day how much I love them and how much they mean to me.
