KVC Nebraska

Today, we're celebrating the people who help communities grow from the ground up. 🌳

On Arborist Appreciation Day, we recognize the skilled professionals who care for and preserve the trees that provide beauty, shade and lasting benefits for generations to come. Their work requires knowledge, dedication and a commitment to serving others.

At KVC Nebraska, we know growth takes time, support and care.

Whether we're strengthening families, providing mental health services or supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we believe thriving communities are built by people who invest in others.

Thank you to the arborists helping keep Nebraska rooted and growing. 💙

Help us welcome Mike to the KVC Nebraska team! 🎉

Mike recently joined KVC Nebraska as our new Substance Abuse Coordinator. He brings experience supporting individuals navigating mental health, substance use and other life challenges, along with a strong passion for helping people achieve their goals and build brighter futures.

He is currently completing his master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has experience in care coordination, peer support and community collaboration.

When he's not working, Mike enjoys music, travel and exploring new experiences.

We're excited to have him on the team. Be sure to say hello and give him a warm KVC welcome!

Everyone deserves consistency.

For many youth in western Nebraska, their journey through foster care can include multiple moves and changes in the adults supporting them along the way. A stable foster home can provide comfort, connection and a sense of belonging during an uncertain time.

Foster families play a vital role in helping youth and teens stay connected to their communities while offering the support and encouragement they need to thrive.

If you've ever considered fostering, now may be the perfect time to learn more about how you can make a difference for youth in western Nebraska. https://hubs.ly/Q04kkwxc0

One often overlooked tool for youth mental health is all around us: nature. At KVC, we are committed to equipping parents and caregivers with strategies to support youth wellbeing. Gloria manages and develops all clinical programming in Nebraska, is a dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) trainer and is avid about spending time outdoors.

Every foster care journey begins with connection. 💙

Cathi's story is a powerful reminder of the impact one caring family can have in a child's life.

From growing up in a home that welcomed foster children to becoming a foster parent herself, Cathi understands the importance of helping children feel safe, supported and valued. Her experience highlights both the challenges and rewards of foster parenting and the lasting connections that can be built along the way.

If you've ever wondered what foster parenting is really like, we invite you to read her story.
