By introducing other agencies to KVC’s Safe & Connected model, KVC helped one prominent juvenile justice agency reduce the average number of youth in detention by more than 10%.
The innovative program will use iPads to connect more than 500 children and teens in 300 foster families to critical services.
Navigating the Road to Health was initiated by the Nebraska Families Collaborative in partnership with Project Everlast to improve health and mental health access and outcomes for current and former youth in foster care.
The free online training, “Navigating the Road to Health: Healthcare Transition Planning with Teenage Foster Youth,” has been approved for 1.5 hours of in-service training for licensed foster parents.
Families who participate in KVC Nebraska’s 2015 Resource Family Conference will hear keynote speaker Karen S. Vadino. Karen is a Motivational Speaker, Humorist, Trainer and Consultant.
