Local Impact: Dads Step Up
Connecting communities and families is part of the way we create better outcomes for Kansas kids. Our Reno county partner, Rise Up, has been doing just that with Dads in Action.
Look Again | A Statewide Awareness Initiative
Look Again is KADEC’s public awareness initiative, encouraging Kansans to pause, notice the signs, and respond in ways that protect and support children and understand what to do next. Through education and practical resources, Look Again helps caregivers, educators, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and community members recognize risk factors and take meaningful action without judment or blame.
You can’t help what you don’t see. But when we choose to look again, we can be the difference.
