Pressley Ridge Summit Targets Kinship Care Reform in West Virginia

The summit highlighted the Family Centered Treatment Foundation model as a cornerstone for modernizing local support systems. Organizers introduced the Pressley Ridge B~Hope Embracing Kinship Caregivers curriculum, a resource intended to equip families with the practical instruments needed to maintain stable home environments. By prioritizing these methodologies, the organization aims to ensure children remain connected to their primary support networks.

Sponsored by the West Virginia First Foundation, the four-day gathering served as a collaborative hub for professionals to exchange knowledge and develop creative approaches to foster care. Pressley Ridge continues its push to fortify family units through this continuum of specialized mental health and residential services, focusing on long-term outcomes for youth within the state.
