We’re happy to announce that the Kids in Care Settings (KICS) program has received a $30,000 grant for the second consecutive year! This significant funding will allow us to continue our mission of providing essential mental health and behavioral health services to foster and kinship children.
KICS, a joint initiative of Children’s Hospital Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region, has been instrumental in improving the lives of vulnerable children. By working closely with a dedicated team of doctors, psychologists, and social workers, we’re able to address the unique challenges faced by these young individuals. Co-founded by the Rocky Mountain Region, KICS has been so successful that Arapahoe County is providing $250,000 to aid in the continued expansion of the clinic.

We want to acknowledge the generous support from the Rocky Mountain Region and for their invaluable contributions to the KICS Clinic. In addition, we extend our sincere gratitude to the Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation and the Driven To Care Organization for their continued efforts. Their commitment to child welfare has made a profound impact on our community.
