The children we care for at St. Joe’s have endured trauma, but our team of experts are giving them the emotional support they need, so that we can find the perfect family for them.
There is a crisis of child maltreatment in Kentucky as the state is currently ranked sixth in the nation for child abuse and neglect. As a result, many children in Kentucky are being placed into foster care. Oftentimes, their biological parents cannot care for them because of financial hardship, loss of employment, mental health, or substance abuse. If the circumstances improve, the child may reunite with their parents, but if the child is unable to return home, adoption is the next step.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You'll still have support and guidance when you receive a foster placement. Kentucky has continued training and can connect new foster parents with experienced families through the Foster Parent Mentor Program.
Having access to an experienced foster family is invaluable. You'll be able to connect with other adults who have advice and can provide coaching to make your parenting journey easier.
Your local child-placing agency is one of your best sources of information and foster parenting services.
Nonprofit child welfare organizations approved by the state recruit resource parents, provide resources, and offer training and general support. When you attend the informational orientation and parent training, you'll receive books and resources that tell you more about the many available foster parent support groups.

Went to the picnic here. It's become our annual family outing. Enjoyed the food, drinks and fun.

I went to the annual picnic fundraiser and it is a fun day. An area for the kids to enjoy activities just for them. Plenty of food trucks and beverages both alcohol and not. It is a fun day to bet on wheel games and bingo and later on Saturday evening they have Black Jack tables. Great fun for a great organization. Look forward to it every year.

The employees care so much about the kids living there and do a great job with their annual picnic.

I think its sad that this place has bad reviews. And these reviews are based on peoples opinions about the overpricing and "pathetic beer". In my gracious opinion, it is a home for children and whatever prices they choose are for the possible reason of raising money for the home. So, anytime someone feels the need to put a 1 star review, lets think before we speak. You sound spoiled. Anywho, i had a wonderful time there and i'm so excited for the picnics 😊
