Child Abuse Prevention Month
2026-04-01 - 2026-04-30
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
We encourage everyone to recommit to ensuring that every child grows up in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment so they have the chance to succeed. While child abuse prevention is focused on noticing children’s safety in homes and communities, we carry forward the same commitment in our services.
Protecting children and keeping kids safe is the heart of our work at KVC. When families are in crisis due to family challenges or mental health needs, caring KVC professionals step in for the very purpose of safety. Our track record on child safety is why state child welfare agencies across the U.S. trust us to care for tens of thousands of children and families each year.

Family Reunification Month
2026-06-01 - 2026-06-30
June is Family Reunification Month and at KVC Health Systems we celebrate those families that have worked hard to overcome obstacles, resolve conflicts and learn healthy skills in order for their children to safely return home from foster care!
Ultimately, the goal of foster care is reunification (also known as reintegration), and equipping biological parents with the resources and skills they need to thrive is at the heart of it all. We are all a part of family systems, and even when families are experiencing difficulties, many aspects of our family compose our identities. Our culture, language and belief systems, along with the social connections embedded in community, school, churches and extended family are all a very powerful part of who we are. KVC recognizes that parents have a lot of unmet needs, which is why we have built additional services beyond what is required of a foster case management provider.
If you care about families in your community who face serious challenges, we invite you to show your support during June and all year long, learn more and get involved here.
