When a child has suffered 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. Our mission is to enrich and enhance the lives of children and families.

KVC West Virginia is a private, nonprofit child welfare organization that provides a diverse array of services including foster careadoption, in-home family preservation services, outpatient psychiatric and behavioral healthcare, and educational support for middle and high school students through our First Star Academy. In partnership with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Bureau for Children and Families, we utilize the Safe at Home West Virginia program to maximize the benefits of home and community-based services for children in out-of-home care. We are committed to enriching and enhancing the lives of West Virginia children and families.
