With the arrival of National Foster Care Month, DCCH is sharing startling statistics to reinforce the importance of its call for help in recruiting foster parents. As of April 7, there are 8,045 children in “out of home placements” in the state of Kentucky – 1,163 in the Northern Bluegrass region alone, according to the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.
DCCH Center for Children and Families has a Therapeutic Foster Care Program dedicated to meeting the demand for caring for foster families in Northern Kentucky. The program is seeking good homes for children who have been temporarily or permanently placed in the custody of the State of Kentucky.
DCCH is inviting the community to a free open house from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. May 5 at the DCCH Campus, located at 75 Orphanage Road in Fort Mitchel. No registration is required for the event, which will offer the opportunity learn more about the services and needs of DCCH.
