What is the Thriving Families Program?

When parents experience stress, feel overwhelmed or unable to solve personal and interpersonal problems due to external pressures, KVC Kentucky's Thriving Families program gives you the opportunity to care for a child or teen for a short period of time while the youth and their family receive support and resources from caring professionals. This program helps prevent youth from entering out-of-home living arrangements and is focused on working with families to build resilience.

Too often, many families experience challenges and need support from the community but don't know where to turn. By helping a family in need, you will enrich their life as well as your own.

If you’re interested, KVC Kentucky is here to guide you every step of the way. We will provide you with:

• Free education and skills training before you get started
• At least two visits at your home each week by a KVC professional
• Free ongoing training and support 24/7, 365 days/year
• 24-hour phone support
• Financial reimbursement to meet the child's needs
• And much more!
