According to a University of California, Irvine study, children in foster care are seven times more likely to experience depression than their peers.

This Depression Awareness Month, let’s take time to recognize the unique challenges these children face and the lasting impact those experiences can have on their mental health.

Support, stability, and access to therapy can make all the difference. At Necco, we’re committed to providing compassionate care that helps children heal and thrive.

Only about 3% of teens who age out of foster care without a strong support system go on to pursue post-secondary education. We can change that, starting right here in Beckley. One home, one teen, one future at a time.
