Supporting Families at Risk

Supporting Families at Risk


The Supporting Families at Risk profiles were originally developed as a special request from Family and Consumer Sciences agents in Grayson, Breckinridge and Meade counties to support their Tri County Family and Consumer Sciences Supporting Families at Risk Series.

Since these data could also be useful for others across the state, this special issue of Kentucky: By The Numbers provides the same data for each of the 120 counties. Data elements include grandparents raising grandchildren, out-of-home care, neglect and abuse, substance abuse, and crime including domestic abuse, violent crime, and drug arrests.
