Kentuckians Encouraging Youth to Succeed

Kentuckians Encouraging Youth to Succeed (KEYS) is a non-profit healthcare organization based in Kentucky that provides comprehensive behavioral health and support services for children and adolescents. Established in 1999, the organization operates as a "System of Care," offering a coordinated network of community-based services designed to meet the needs of youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families. KEYS utilizes the "wraparound" model of care, which emphasizes individualized, family-driven planning and collaboration across multiple service systems, including mental health, education, and social services. Primarily funded through federal grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), KEYS works in partnership with state and local agencies to improve outcomes for Kentucky's youth facing complex behavioral challenges.
