INDEPENDENT • PARENT-LED • BUILT IN KENTUCKY
Kentucky’s Independent, Parent-Led Organization for Families.
We help families navigate schools, healthcare, CPS, courts, public benefits, and other family-serving programs.
Navigate complicated systems,. Know your options. Find support.
What do you need today?
Navigate a situation — Something is happening with a school, CPS, court, healthcare provider, public program, or other family-serving service and you’re not sure what to do next.
Understand your options—Find straightforward information and tools to help you decide what comes next.
Share what happened — Privately share your experience so it can help identify patterns across families.
Connect with support— Find organizations, events, and community resources that may be able to help.
In 2025, there were 143,764 reports made to Kentucky's child abuse hotline. Of the cases investigated, about 84% did not result in a finding of abuse or neglect.
Behind every report is a family experience. Those experiences can reveal important patterns that numbers alone don't show.
There should be another option.
A way for families to be heard,
In their own words.
Independent By Design.
Families deserve somewhere to turn that isn’t controlled by the systems they’re navigating.
Change Collective KY is an independent, parent-led accountability effort.
This work captures structured community experience data to identify patterns across systems and strengthen system responsiveness alongside existing data sources.
It is a space where families can share their experiences in their own words, on their own terms.
Not part of any agency.
Not a complaint system.
You choose what to share.
That creates space for honesty, protection, and clarity.
HOW THIS WORKS
We focus on three things:
Protection
Families have a way to share experiences safely, without public exposure.
Patterns
When experiences are collected in a structured way, patterns across systems can be identified and tracked over time.
Public accountability
Patterns are turned into reports, materials, and information that can push for change.
OUR GOAL
Families should not be left with less information, less clarity, and less power than the systems making decisions about their lives.
OUR VISION
A future where ALL families have the tools, protection, and proof they need to be heard.

FOUNDER
Who built this
I'm a parent.
I've lived what happens when families are not heard, when records don't reflect the full story, and when systems control the narrative.
Change Collective KY was built to make sure families are not navigating this alone and that what they experience actually counts.
Has something happened with a system or service connected to your family?
You are not alone.
