At KVC Kentucky, we believe learning is one of the most powerful ways we can strengthen support for children, families and communities.

That’s why we’re excited to share more about our Training Center and how it reflects our commitment to innovation, collaboration and professional growth. From evidence-based practices to continuing education opportunities, this space was designed to help professionals build skills, strengthen connections and elevate care across Kentucky.

When we invest in people, we strengthen outcomes for the children and families we serve.

Music has a way of helping us slow down, express emotions and reconnect with ourselves and others. 🎶

This National Buy a Musical Instrument Day, consider picking up an instrument you’ve always wanted to learn or revisiting one you already love. Whether it’s a guitar, keyboard, drums or violin, music can support relaxation, creativity and emotional wellbeing at any age.

Small moments of joy and self-expression matter for mental health.

If you or someone you love could benefit from additional support, our Behavioral Health Services offers compassionate mental health care for children, adults and families across Kentucky.

We are honored to receive more than $600,000 in opioid abatement funding from Attorney General Russell Coleman and the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission to continue supporting our EMBARK (Embracing Mothers and Building Addiction and Recovery Across Kentucky) program, which serves pregnant and parenting mothers impacted by substance use.

Through EMBARK, families receive compassionate support, care coordination, recovery resources and services focused on improving outcomes for both mothers and babies. Since the launch of the EMBARK program, 42 healthy babies have been born, reflecting the impact of early intervention, support and community-based care for mothers and families.

This funding allows us to continue providing critical support that strengthens families, promotes healthy births and helps keep children safely with their parents whenever possible.

KVC Kentucky was honored to attend the Lancaster City Council meeting as Mayor Michael Gaffney officially proclaimed May as Mental Health Awareness Month in the City of Lancaster.

The resolution, written by City Councilman Brandon McGlone, serves as an important reminder that mental health matters in every community. During the meeting, our very own Dr. Megan Moore spoke on behalf of KVC Kentucky about the importance of mental health awareness, reducing stigma and ensuring families know support and resources are available.

By encouraging open conversations and increasing awareness around behavioral health, Lancaster is taking meaningful steps toward creating a healthier future for individuals and families.

As Councilman McGlone shared, “mental health IS community health.”

Thank you to Mayor Michael Gaffney, the Lancaster City Council, Dr. Megan Moore and all community leaders and advocates who continue working to bring mental health out of the shadows and into the light.
