The newest episode of Turning Point (click the video above to watch) tells the story of The Gentle Barn—a home to 130 animals that have been rescued from severe abuse and neglect. Once the animals are rehabilitated, they stay at the barn for the rest of their lives and serve as ambassadors helping to heal abused children.

The kids learn more about kindness, compassion and patience through their interactions with the animals.
