On the last day of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we want to extend gratitude to all of the partnerships that make accomplishing ReadyKids' mission possible. In FY22, ReadyKids youth counseling program, Inside Out, provided 4,285 hours of counseling to 430 kids and their guardians. This outcome would not have been possible without our team of dedicated counselors and funding from the Virginia Health Care Foundation, the Manning Family Foundation, the Murlan Foundation, and support from community partners.
