·Over the phone support and problem solving to help resolve a child’s behavioral health crisis
BY JENNA BARACKMAN KC STAR
MAY 21, 2024
Kansas teens aging out of the state’s foster care system are now able to choose a primary legal guardian whom they trust to represent them best, giving them another option when transitioning to independent living.
Since it began in early 2020, the Family First Prevention program in Kansas recognized the need for more intensive attention on prevention of placing children in foster care – specifically, keeping families together before a petition is filed to remove a child from the family. This puts a focus on family well-being, to give parents and caregivers support and access to needed resources to prevent or relieve a crisis in the family before it escalates.
A powerful set of financial firms have delayed federal investigations or punishments into their allegedly predatory lending practices, as they seize on an industry-led lawsuit challenging the future of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
