Child Placing Agency
Child Placing Agency Specialists recruit, train, and provide 24-hour support for foster families across Kansas.

Our prevention work focuses on providing training and technical assistance to community coalitions, developing evidence-based resources, providing education on overdose prevention and medication safety, and providing naloxone to community partners. We also offer Mental Health First Aid (Kansas and Oklahoma) and QPR training. Our traffic safety work provides public information and education to protect individuals from avoidable injury or death on roadways. The SAFE (Seatbelts Are for Everyone) program focused on engaging young people in peer-to-peer promotion of traffic safety.
