Whether foster care seems like something you’re called to or your are simply curious to learn more, you’re in the right place. On any given day, nearly 407,000 children are in foster care in America. That includes more than 40,000 children in areas served by KVC Health Systems. The primary goal of foster care is reunification. At KVC, we work toward this goal by helping families with the tools and support they need to function in a healthy way.

MARCH 29, 2022

Like many people, I have a love/hate relationship with therapy. This space has provided so many good, beautiful moments for me over the years, and even when I learn something that isn’t always so positive about myself, I’m grateful for the space that’s been created to process and feel. But, as someone who has seen a number of therapists over the past decade, it can also be extremely frustrating to try and find that space, or create it for yourself.

I am of an age when the educational assistant used to work only on behalf of the student to which they were assigned. In so doing the EA was to facilitate the student’s academic achievement as best as possible. Nowadays, the EA is often an agent of control on behalf of the administration to keep the assisted student and other disruptive students from disturbing the other non-identified students.

If you have lived with a narcissist, you have developed a social contract. We have social contracts with everyone we relate to. A social contract is an implied agreement for how we interact and our code of conduct. With a narcissist, that social contract includes that their needs must be met over yours and that you are there to feed their ego. Leaving a narcissist requires you to break the social contract.

You may have the clinical skills to manage a private practice, but your success could actually hinge on marketing skills. For a thriving practice, you need to differentiate yourself from others and present yourself in a way that attracts referrals. These days, much of that happens online, including on social media. In this webinar, Gary Direnfeld will discuss how social media marketing can help you build your private practice and grow your client base.

The government has reinstated a change to the cap on care costs that will reduce its benefit to less wealthy people. The House of Commons yesterday overturned a vote in the Lords that would have ensured that people’s full personal care costs – not just their client contributions – counted towards the cap, as is currently legislated for in the Care Act 2014.

Many hope that by giving in to a narcissistic ex, they can buy peace. What many of these folks come to realize is that their ex is never gratified. Indeed, the ex learns that holding you hostage pays off. Hence it continues in as many ways possible. Your emancipation is not something the ex will likely grant. It is yours to take. The longer one takes to set boundaries with such a person, the more challenging it will likely be.
