Whether foster care seems like something you’re called to or your are simply curious to learn more, you’re in the right place. On any given day, nearly 407,000 children are in foster care in America. That includes more than 40,000 children in areas served by KVC Health Systems. The primary goal of foster care is reunification. At KVC, we work toward this goal by helping families with the tools and support they need to function in a healthy way.

Like many people, I have a love/hate relationship with therapy. This space has provided so many good, beautiful moments for me over the years, and even when I learn something that isn’t always so positive about myself, I’m grateful for the space that’s been created to process and feel. But, as someone who has seen a number of therapists over the past decade, it can also be extremely frustrating to try and find that space, or create it for yourself.

This week, I’ve done a lot of reflection about where I am on my mental health journey. Part of that was inspired by my recent post about how anyone can benefit from therapy – I reflected on my own journey in therapy and how that has affected my day-to-day life. And even though I reflect often about the growth and change I’ve experienced over the years, I’ve reached a few conclusions about what it means for a person to learn more about themselves.

In our daily lives, whether at home or work, IPC measures have received much greater attention as we all learn how to deal with a persistent and evolving threat. Those who provide care and support, and those who receive it, have responded remarkably to the challenge of adhering to IPC and, together, reduced infection risks across all care and clinical settings.

If you have lived with a narcissist, you have developed a social contract. We have social contracts with everyone we relate to. A social contract is an implied agreement for how we interact and our code of conduct. With a narcissist, that social contract includes that their needs must be met over yours and that you are there to feed their ego. Leaving a narcissist requires you to break the social contract.
