Parenting an adopted child comes with unique joys and challenges, and there is no single right way to do it. What matters most is creating a sense of safety, patience, and connection over time. Progress does not always look loud or fast, but steady support builds trust and confidence in ways that last.

You do not have to navigate it alone. Support, guidance, and care for your family are always within reach. Learn more at kzoofamilycounseling.com

What you say to your child matters more than you may realize. Your words shape their confidence, their character, and the way they learn to see themselves in the world. A moment of encouragement can stay with them far longer than a moment of criticism. Let them know they are supported. Let them know you are proud.

Support at home builds resilience everywhere else. If your family needs help navigating stress, pressure, or emotional challenges, we are here. Learn more at kzoofamilycounseling.com

A simple shift in perspective can change everything. When we look beyond the behavior and recognize the struggle underneath, we open the door to understanding, connection, and support.

At Kalamazoo Child and Family Counseling, we help families move from reacting to behaviors to truly supporting what their child needs to feel safe, seen, and understood.

📍 KCFC Office Update 📍

We’re excited to share an important update—beginning Monday, March 30th, 2026, Kalamazoo Child and Family Counseling will be offering all services at our Kalamazoo office as we officially merge our Kalamazoo and Portage locations.

This transition is happening in part because additional space has become available, and it gives us a great opportunity to bring our whole team together in one place. By being under one roof, we can strengthen our team-based approach to care, improve coordination across services, and better support the families we serve.

Thank you to our clients, families, and community for your continued trust as we grow and work to make care as accessible, collaborative, and high-quality as possible. 💛

Yesterday we officially welcomed our very first cohort of adolescents into our new Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — and we couldn’t be more excited (or proud) of this incredible group for showing up and getting started. 💙

Our Adolescent IOP is centered around helping teens build a life worth living by learning skills for:
✅ managing big emotions
✅ navigating interpersonal relationships
✅ building healthy coping strategies
✅ increasing confidence and resilience
✅ strengthening communication and problem-solving

Starting something new takes courage — and we’re honored to walk alongside these teens and their families on this journey.

📍If you’re a provider or parent who wants to learn more about referrals, schedule options, or program details, feel free to reach out!

Today we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr..

Dr. King reminded us that meaningful change begins with empathy, courage, and a commitment to treating others with dignity and respect. His work continues to inspire reflection, service, and the responsibility we all share in building stronger, more compassionate communities.

May this day serve as a moment to pause, listen, and consider how we can show up for one another with understanding and care, not just today, but every day.

Sometimes, we all need a little reminder of our own strength and courage. Keep this with you today and always: You’re braver, stronger, and smarter than you realize.

Happy Winnie The Pooh Day!
