After a long school day, a lot of kids come home quiet. Or short. Or just different than they used to be.

You don’t need the perfect question. Sometimes sitting with them, asking how the day really felt, or noticing one small thing is enough.

You’re not alone in trying to figure this out.

If what you hear feels bigger than you can hold on your own, KRCC therapists are already in many of our schools. They meet kids right where they are.

Call the school office and ask for the KRCC School-Based Therapist. Or reach us at 606-436-5761.

If it feels urgent, call or text 988, or reach KRCC’s crisis line at 1-800-262-7491. Both are open day and night.

We’re right here with you.

School’s been in a couple weeks now across these hills. Some kids are finding their rhythm. Others are carrying more than they let on.

Worry that won’t settle. Hard days with friends. Trouble focusing. Big feelings that show up at school or at home.

You are not alone in this.

KRCC has therapists right inside many of our local schools. They meet kids where they already are and walk with them through whatever feels heavy. No judgment. Just steady, real support.

If your child could use that kind of help, call the school office and ask for the KRCC School-Based Therapist. Or reach out to us at 606-436-5761.

We’re here. And if things feel urgent, call or text, 988 any time, day or night.

You and your family deserve to feel better.

In these first months with a new baby, everything can feel brand new. The sleepless nights, the little milestones, the quiet moments when you’re just figuring it out together.

If you’re a parent or caregiver of an infant (birth to 12 months), KRCC is inviting you and your little one to a special interactive session.

You’ll learn the Baby Tree Hug Story, spend time in simple play-based connection activities, and get guided support for your baby’s emotional and social growth.

Every family that joins also receives a free FirstPlay Parents E-Book.

Spaces are limited.

Reach out to Marie Tuttle at 436-5761 ext. 7322 or [email protected] if you’d like to take part.

We’d be glad to welcome you and your baby.
