KICS’ care model is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, focuses on both biological families as well as foster and kinship families, and is committed to health equity. The clinic provides integrated mental and behavioral health, physical health, and related coordination and navigation, all of which are critical in meeting the healthcare needs for children whom who are under the state’s care.
