IMPACT is a statewide program which helps coordinate services for children with severe emotional disabilities. IMPACT's purpose is to find, create, coordinate, facilitate and enhance the delivery of services that will enable a child with a severe emotional disability to remain at home or within the community in lieu of psychiatric hospitalization or other institutionalization.
-

About 3,000 young people in this region (about 5%) may possibly qualify for the IMPACT program.
- Pennyroyal IMPACT serves eight counties in the Pennyroyal Region: Caldwell, Christian, Crittenden, Hopkins, Lyon, Muhlenberg, Todd and Trigg.
- Due to limited resources, priority is given to children currently living outside their homes, those at risk of being placed in a hospital or treatment facility or those with a history of such placement.

Any parent or professional involved with the child can request help. Forms are available by contacting:
