Across America, people are hurting. Every 10 seconds, a report of child abuse or neglect is made. 424,000 children are in foster care for their own safety… including 40,000 children in the areas served by KVC. And for many reasons, children’s mental health is more vulnerable than ever. Adults are suffering with untreated depression, anxiety & other mental health needs. Substance use and addiction are on the rise. And more young people are experiencing serious thoughts of suicide. We feel disconnected from each other and sometimes, even from ourselves.
