WHAT WE DO
Our agency focuses on primary prevention through community awareness efforts, and by providing an array of programs and services to give parents the knowledge and resources they need to be successful.
ADOPTION RESOURCE PROGRAM
There are currently too many children in the state of Kentucky in out of home care. By making these children our top priority, we are committed to finding forever families who will be able to provide them with the love and nurturing they will need to become thriving individuals later in life.

LITTLE LEARNERS PROGRAM
The Little Learners Program utilizes the Parents as Teachers curriculum to empower parents to be their child’s first and best teacher.
