The overall purpose of Morningstar Girls' Home is to glorify God by ministering to the needs of abused, neglected and disturbed girls in a Christian home environment. To accomplish this, Morningstar provides the necessary training and support, including Biblical principles, to equip our staff in caring for these girls. Emphatic empowerment involves integrating the spiritual, physical, intellectual, psychological and social health of each youth in its care. Morningstar staff strives to modify behavior through a family oriented structured environment.
Residents earn privileges and take responsibility for their actions.
Treatment plans, individual and group therapy, independent living skills, setting daily behavior goals, and learning responsibility through a positive reward system are components of a structured progressive program that is tailored to meet residents' needs. Residents are encouraged to set goals focused on developing the ability to respond appropriately to life situations. Morningstar staff pursue a holistic approach toward the integration of the spiritual, psychological, physical, intellectual and social health of each resident. The goal is to provide a balanced environment to enable each resident to attain her fullest potential as a healthy citizen, actively and responsibly approaching adulthood. The Spiritual Self As Christians, we believe that a healthy relationship with God is the energizing force that overwhelms dysfunctional behavior.
