Families First
Children and teens belong with their own families whenever possible. KVC works to safely reunify hundreds of families each year by providing parenting skills training, therapy and other support.
Caring People Needed
On any given day, KVC Kansas provides out-of-home care for thousands of children and teens. Relatives, non-related kin like teachers and neighbors, and foster parents are all critical to providing temporary care for these children and teens. See how you can make a difference as a foster parent.

Clinical Support for Problematic Behaviors- Topeka
One of the biggest challenges parents face is managing difficult, defiant or problematic
behaviors from their children. Whether they’re refusing to do what is asked of them, or
throwing full-blown tantrums, you can find yourself at a loss for an effective way to
respond.
KVC and the Topeka Foster Parent Advisory Board understand these challenges and want to help provide a road map to calmer, more consistent ways of managing these behaviors through the use of therapeutic techniques that will help children develop the skills they need to regulate their own behaviors and help you better understand them.
Join us Monday, September 26th from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm at the Topeka Office and connect with families who understand the challenges you face, problem solve among people who will provide a therapeutic input and earn CEU hours.
Childcare will be provided for those that RSVP by Monday, September 19th. For more information, contact the Topeka Foster Parent Advisory Board at 785-338-1113 or kvcfpadvisoryboardtopeka@gmail.com.
