KVC Behavioral Healthcare
KVC strengthens families using wraparound services so children can remain with their own families and in their own communities. We also provide foster care, reunification support, adoption, substance use treatment, in-home family services, educational support, and child, family and adult therapy.
We all need connection. That’s why we’ve been serving children, individuals and families for more than 20 years. When a child has experienced abuse or neglect, or when a family is facing a mental health challenge, KVC West Virginia is there with the support needed to move through difficult times. KVC is a private, nonprofit child welfare organization that provides a diverse array of services including in-home family support, foster care, adoption, in-home mental health therapy and youth educational support.
Our compassionate, dedicated team helps strengthen individuals and families every day.
Each year, KVC West Virginia helps nearly 1,000 children, individuals and families feel safe and connected to each other and their communities. Take a look at how many West Virginia children, individuals and families we were able to positively impact this past fiscal year:

Requirements to become a foster parent
When you want to apply to become a foster parent, your first step should be contacting the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources or a private foster agency. An advocate will reach out to you and answer any questions you have. Your foster agency is one of your best sources of support.
West Virginia HealthCheck is an Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment program available to kids in foster care. Through the program, foster children receive a variety of care options, including appointments for primary health and preventative services. Kids also receive dental screenings, immunizations, behavioral and developmental assessments, etc.
Foster parents may receive a subsidy for each foster child in their care as well as clothing allowances and vouchers. Talk to your foster agency to learn more about monthly foster care payments, as these vary depending on the age and needs of the child.
Check your region for foster parent support groups as well. These groups provide excellent opportunities to meet other foster families and receive help.
