All families go through tough times. Sometimes families face challenges that are too difficult to overcome without the support of a caring community. The Strong and Connected Program provides a path toward hope and healing for families. \nStrong and Connected is a nationally and internationally recognized evidence-based program. \nWho can participate?\nYouth 6-18 years and their families. Right now\, we are only able to accept referrals for families that live in Jackson County but as the program continues to grow\, we hope to open it up to other areas in the future. \nHow does it work?\nFamilies meet for two hours once a week for 14 weeks to share a meal – and then children and parents attend their own class to work on age-appropriate activities. Topics covered include\, but are not limited to: family communication\, family relationships\, child development\, and navigating barriers. \nWhat are some of the rewards?\n• We provide dinner every week for families\n• Childcare is provided for children not participating in the program\n• Transportation assistance is available upon request\n• Families receive incentives at each weekly meeting (ie. gift cards\, small gifts\, passes for community activities\, etc.)\n• Graduation ceremony at the end of the 14-week program \nIf you are interested in learning more about the class and enrolling\, you can complete your registration below. \nIf technology is a barrier or you have additional questions\, please contact Erin Huerta at: 913-329-4251 or ehuerta@kvc.org

SUMMARY:The Cortex is Open for Business
DESCRIPTION:There has been a focus on regulating the child you foster\, then relating to them- now it is time to implement reasoning. Once the moment has settled and everyone is back in their thinking brain\, then and only then can the discussion begin. If your focus is on teaching skills\, then natural and logical consequences help you to achieve this goal. This course focuses in on how to recognize that the child you foster is ready for the reason stage and then ways to go about implementing consequences that help your child to build life skills.
