About this episode

In this episode, Kim and Dr. Kjos discuss with Neeva from PACT for Families the importance of connecting families to support and the role of mental health care in stabilizing homes.

In this episode of The Hope Exchange , Kim and Dr. Kjos are joined by Neeva from PACT for Families, a collaborative that helps connect children and families to support when they're at risk of falling through the cracks. Neeva shares her own journey from Gulfport, Mississippi to rural Minnesota and what drew her to public health work with vulnerable populations. Together, they discuss how inter-agency partnerships and upstream mental health care can stabilize homes and improve outcomes for children. Through warmth and wisdom, Neeva reminds us that systems can feel overwhelming — but real help often starts with a simple conversation.
