First Lady Britainy Beshear is along-time community volunteer and advocate for some of Kentucky’s most vulnerable children. While always a mother to Will (10) and Lila (9) first, she chooses to use her additional time to help Kentucky’s families and children. She served on the board of directors for Maryhurst from 2013 to 2019, which provides help and hope for abused and neglected young women and girls. She is an active volunteer with the Family Scholar House and works closely with the staff and clients to end the cycle of poverty and to empower single parents.

Her work with these organizations led Mrs. Beshear to create the Hope Gallery, located in the Office of the Attorney General, to give a voice to Kentucky children who face adversities and to highlight art therapy programs.

Mrs. Beshear is also actively involved in Will and Lila’s education, and volunteers in their classrooms and after school programs. Governor and Mrs. Beshear instill a passion for volunteerism and responsibility for community in both of their children. Following her example, the Beshear children enjoy volunteer activities with the Dare to Care Food Bank in Louisville and God’s Pantry in Lexington.

The First Lady looks forward to using her platform to improve the lives of children across the Commonwealth.

I would feel better about this concept of helping the abused except with everything I've seen the past few years, plus "those you trust the most" and "follow the wives" hits here. Lots of vague virtue fig words

In Kentucky, the state with the highest child abuse rate, Maryhurst is saving kids'

lives. Our work prevents abuse, restores hope, and empowers survivors.

At the first sign of conflict, Maryhurst's counseling program partners with families

to strengthen relationships and protect kids' safety. For girls whose histories of

trauma have left them without a safe home, our residential programs provide a

place of healing. 'As soon as kids are ready, our '''transitional living and aftercare

services create pathways to permanency, stability and better futures'''.

We believe that strong family relationships are the foundation of healthy growth.

Some form of family development - be it strengthening existing bonds or

building new ones - is a goal we set with every child in our care.
