Kentucky System Experience At the Table (KY SEAT) - Kentucky’s Statewide Birth Parent Advisory Council - Member Application

Are you a parent (mom or dad) with a closed CPS investigation or case in Kentucky? Do you want to use your experience to help other parents?

Parents know what parents and their children need best.

The goal of KY SEAT is to make sure parent voice is included when creating and changing programs, policies, and practices for families in Kentucky. We want better outcomes for children, families, and communities and want to be heard by policymakers, service providers, community workers and the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS).

Please note: This Council does not offer direct support for cases on an individual basis.
