#ProuddayinKCK Board of Edu. voted unanimously to make Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools a Trauma Sensitive School District. With great partners like PACES, KVC Health Systems, WHF, Vibrant Health, UnitedWayWyCo and many more, district-wide strategies will buffer the impact of #ACEs & cultivate resilience!

Children exposed to #ACEs may have more difficulty with impulse control when faced with stressful situations. But mindfulness exercises can really help! Here’s a quick mindfulness exercise to incorporate into your own day, and one to work on with your kids.

One of the favorite parts of my role is celebrating our employees. This morning, we celebrated Ms. Sharitta’s 25th Anniversary with KVC Health Systems Hospitals! Thankful for her commitment to our mission & the youth we serve. We’re lucky to have many dedicated employees across our system!
