Necco Foster Care and Counseling

10/27/2025

According to a University of California, Irvine study, children in foster care are seven times more likely to experience depression than their peers.

This Depression Awareness Month, let’s take time to recognize the unique challenges these children face and the lasting impact those experiences can have on their mental health.

Support, stability, and access to therapy can make all the difference. At Necco, we’re committed to providing compassionate care that helps children heal and thrive.

Fostering: It Runs in the Family!

Rhonda began fostering 26 years ago, when her daughter Aimee was just six months old. Growing up surrounded by sibilings and love, Aimee was inspired to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Now a foster mom herself, Aimee shares how her mom’s example shaped her own path: "It never felt like outsiders were coming in. It was always, ‘Welcome to the family.’"

Together, they’ve built a legacy of love, support, and life-changing impact.

Teens in foster care need loving, stable homes just as much as younger children, and the impact of support during these formative years can last a lifetime!

Only about 3% of teens who age out of foster care without a strong support system go on to pursue post-secondary education. We can change that, starting right here in Beckley. One home, one teen, one future at a time.
