Kentucky Partnership for Families and Children, Inc. has established Peer Support Centers, in six of the DCBS (Department for Community Based Services) regions. Each Center has two staff who are certified in Family and or Youth certified Peer Support Specialists. Services include individual and group peer support, that is individualized and self-identified as a need of the customer.
This project is being supported primarily through a grant, and in partnership with the state of Kentucky through the System of Care FIVE (Families, Involved, Valued, Empowered) grant funds and gives priority to this population but is not limited to families who have current involvement in the DCBS system as a prevention of child removal strategy for our state.
The Peer Support Centers (PSC) also provide SMART Recovery and Nurturing Parenting as well as other skill development or support needs. Most services are currently being provided virtually with limited face to face meetings as COVID guidelines allow.
