Families First Initiative
The Kentucky Families First initiative is an extensive program aimed at transforming services for children and youth. It is designed to guarantee that those with significant needs receive timely care and support. By enhancing access to services, building stronger provider networks, and implementing innovative funding strategies, we are reimagining child and youth services to prioritize family-centered care, personalized support, and long-term stability.
