Positive Impact
Each year, KVC Missouri helps tens of thousands of children and adults create positive, lasting change in their lives. Since Great Circle became part of KVC Missouri on April 1, we’re working on putting together a complete picture of our combined teams’ positive impact.
Every day, our team of 800 child welfare and children’s mental health professionals give their best because the heart of our work is helping people. We strengthen families in crisis, prevent child abuse and neglect, and help both children and adults achieve mental wellness.
Over the last year, we helped in some big ways:
- 25,000 children’s and adults lives positively impacted total
- 14,000 people served through community-based services that strengthen families and support mental wellness
- 1,000 youth received children’s mental health support in residential treatment
- 700 students learned at our K-12 therapeutic schools

Why I Support KVC: Meet Eric and Tonya Groves
When he was a child, Eric Groves’ father was helped by KVC Niles in Kansas City, MO.

With that childhood support, his father grew to be an influential leader in the community. Now, Tonya and Eric Groves are strong supporters of KVC Missouri because of its positive impact in the lives of children and families.
