We all need connection, and that’s why we exist. KVC is a family of nonprofits that strengthen families, prevent child abuse and neglect, and help both children and adults achieve mental wellness.

We’re proud to have roots going back to the early 1800s, and a long legacy of providing heart-centered service to children and families in crisis. Our 2,400 caring professionals provide in-home family strengthening services, foster care, adoption, mental health treatment, and inpatient children’s psychiatric treatment across five states: Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, and West Virginia. KVC is accredited by The Joint Commission, considered the gold standard in healthcare. More about KVC here.
