Glen Dale Children's Home, Glendale, KY Residential Services for teenage girls, ages 12 to 18  Program Overview Glen Dale Children's Home, located in rural Hardin County, is Sunrise Children's Services's second longest-operating program, established in 1915 and originally known as Kentucky Baptist Children's Home. Sunrise provides residential, counseling, adoption, and foster care services throughout Kentucky. Founded in 1869, Sunrise is the largest private residential child care agency in Kentucky and the oldest Southern Baptist child care ministry. Sunrise is licensed by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The Girls In Care Glen Dale Children's Home serves girls, ages 12 to 18, who are in need of special therapeutic care. They typically come from backgrounds of severe abuse or neglect. The girls often have an attitude of defeat and hopelessness when they arrive. A common thread that runs through almost all of the situations is the abandonment -- either physical or emotional -- that the girls feel.How The Girls Are Helped Caring staff work with the girls through regular counseling sessions to help them build self-esteem and confidence. The girls participate in intensive group work to enable them to begin the process of overcoming their pasts and taking control of their futures. Such a process teaches the girls to be accountable not only for their own conduct, but that they help themselves most when they reach out to the other girls in the group.
