Key Assets Kentucky, a newly established fostering agency, is now open and ready for the challenge of placing children in Kentucky with complex needs into family based foster homes.
Through an official ribbon cutting ceremony, held courtesy of the Chamber of Commerce, Key Assets Kentucky opened the doors to its first new office based on Main Street in Mt. Sterling.
The fostering agency is now fully focused on recruiting foster parents across the Eastern Mountain, North Eastern, Northern Bluegrass and Southern Bluegrass regions of Kentucky, providing family based care for children and young people with complex needs.
Key Assets Kentucky will specialize in placing children and young people who may be considered 'high level' and display difficult behavior usually as a result of past experiences. Through the delivery of Team Parenting - a unique, therapeutic approach to foster care which draws together a range of qualified professionals to support the carer and the child - Key Assets Kentucky looks to make a positive and lasting difference to children and young people's lives.
Through the global brand of Fostering First International, Team Parenting has made a positive impact on the lives of children and young people with both trauma and attachment difficulties in over four continents across the world.
Chris Groeber, CEO of Key Assets Kentucky, comments: "I have been working in child welfare for nearly 25 years in one setting or another and have waited for people to engage with our more difficult kids in Kentucky in a way that was laser beam focused on them and their needs and understood the meaning of community as it relates to them."
He concluded: "I believe we are those people and Key Assets Kentucky is that agency, and I am completely and irrevocably committed to making their lives better, one at a time."
