What We Do

Family support services for every need.

Kansas Children’s Service League (KCSL) aims to create, restore, and repair parent-child relationships to build stronger families. The work we do not only benefits the families we work with, it benefits every Kansan. Our child abuse prevention services work to break the cycle of trauma that plagues so many families and communities throughout Kansas. KCSL’s school readiness services help increase future graduation rates amongst participants. Family support services produce better parents and successful families. And lastly, our education services for both families and professionals help build a stronger, more resilient and better-educated workforce.

Helping Families Succeed and Thrive

KCSL offers a wide range of programs to strengthen and support families at every stage. Our services are here for expecting mothers and families with infants, preschoolers and school-age children. We also have services for parents, grandparents caregivers and professionals as well. We focus on four main areas to help families build strong, healthy foundations: Child Abuse Prevention, School Readiness, Education and Family Support.

No matter what your family’s needs are, KCSL is here to support you every step of the way. Explore what KCSL has to offer.

Child Abuse Prevention

Stronger families start at KCSL. We strengthen families, protect children and prevent child abuse and neglect through proven programs and community partnerships.

Kansas Children’s Service League serves as the state chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America. In this key role, we work to build awareness, educate, organize activities and lead advocacy efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect. Children thrive when families get the right support when and where they need it, without stigma and before a crisis.
