Mission and programs · 2024

• Family Preservation and Reunification Services: KVC provides Family Preservation and Reunification Services in six regions across the Central, Eastern, Northern, and Northeastern region in Kentucky under the Family Preservation and Reunification Services contracts with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Our service areas include the following regions: Eastern Mountain, Jefferson, Northeastern, Northern Bluegrass, Southern Bluegrass, and Salt River Trail. Family Preservation Program services are intensive, short-term, crisis intervention resources that intervene quickly for children at risk of out-of-home placement and in situations in which these services afford effective protection of children, youth, families and the community. The Family Preservation Program strives to safely maintain children in their homes, prevent unnecessary placements, and facilitate the safe and timely return of children removed from the home. In FY25, our Family Preservation and Reunification Services coupled with our KSTEP programming provided family strengthening services to 9844 children in over 4500 families.

• KSTEP Services: KVC has implemented Kentucky Strengthening Ties and Empowering Parents (KSTEP) services in all of the Northeastern, Salt River Trail and initiated service delivery in the Cumberland region. KSTEP services are specifically focused on families at risk for removal of the children due to substance use and reunification of children into the home following removal for substance use.

• Behavioral Health Care KVC Behavioral HealthCare Kentucky, Inc., accredited by The Joint Commission, is a recognized leader in the field of behavioral health care and child welfare interventions. KVC Kentucky Behavioral HealthCare's (KVC) philosophy that Children Grow Best In Families is demonstrated by successful outcomes across our intensive in-home behavioral health and substance use treatment services, KSTEP, and Family Preservation Programs-programming that serve to divert children and adolescents from out-of-home placements and high level care placements in institutions. KVC's diversion outcomes preserve families and control costs. The Behavioral Health Services and Substance Use Treatment Programs are designed to provide services for children with complex behavioral health and substance abuse problems. The Behavioral Health Services also provide outpatient services for adults with behavioral health and substance use treatment needs as well. Our Family Strengthening services including KSTEP, Family Preservation and EMBARK provide intensive community-based interventions. Without these intensive, community-based therapeutic services, these children would remain at high-risk for placement in hospitals or other psychiatric institutions, long term residential treatment, and/or out of home-care (foster care). Empirical research indicates that in-home interventions are the most effective treatment modalities for safely keeping at-risk families together. Interventions are provided in the home-the location where long-term change must occur. Professional staff use evidence-based practices such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Child Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) Skills, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Managing & Adapting Practice (MAP), Solution Based Casework(SBC) and Trauma Systems Therapy (TST). KVC Kentucky has been awarded a contract with the Department for Community Based Services to pilot MST as a child-welfare prevention services as part of Kentucky's Family First Services Prevention Act State Plan. This project is focused on families with youth who are 12 to 17 years old, at risk of out-of-home placement due to antisocial or delinquent behaviors and/or youth involved with the juvenile justice system. As a pilot, this is a somewhat small program (4 clinicians and 1 supervisor) but the state is conducting a multi-year study on the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the program to determine long-term sustainability. Approximately 22,000 unique individuals were strengthened through KVC's services (BHS, AODE, Family Preservation, EMBARK, KSTEP and Jefferson Referral and Support Services combined) in FY25. Successful outcomes are made possible across all programs because KVC consistently invests in its workforce by providing intensive supervision, training, professional development and wellness programming.

• Referral and Support Services: KVC Kentucky's Referral and Support Services is an innovative public-private partnership designed to provide support to Department of Community Based Services (DCBS) in completing family assessments, connecting families with needed community services and resources, and strengthening the safety, permanency and well-being of at-risk children and families. This unique team-based approach allows for families to receive support from both KVC Kentucky and DCBS in concluding their child welfare involvement and offering referral linkages or services including behavioral health, substance abuse treatment, recovery supports, medical services, pediatric care, and academic services. Additionally, KVC Kentucky is implementing evidence-based risk assessment and consultation tools in order to better understand the complex and unique risk and safety needs of the families served by Jefferson County DCBS. In FY25, KVC Kentucky has served 3,655 children in 2,094 families through this innovative public private partnership. Embracing Mothers and Build Addiction Recovery in Kentucky (EMBARK) EMBARK aims to meet expecting mothers during a time of crisis and help provide access to resources and support that can change the course of their future and that of their family. It's all about prevention, helping at-risk families to live healthier lives and avoid the child welfare system altogether. Through the EMBARK program, coordinated care professionals will work with these mothers to provide a wrap-around service approach. This approach will ensure they receive high-quality care with access to obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics, primary care, substance use treatment and necessary medical and other assistance. All are provided in the spirit of preventative care that can help break the child welfare cycle and provide families with resources to get ahead.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
