Before the candy haul begins, here are a few simple ways to help keep your kids safe while trick-or-treating tonight.

🎃 Stick to well-lit neighborhoods and always use sidewalks
🧙‍♀️ Make costumes visible with glow sticks or reflective tape
👻 Check all treats before eating and toss anything that looks tampered with
🕷️ Remind kids to stay with their group and never enter a stranger’s home
🦇 For little ones, add ID tags with contact info just in case

Halloween is more fun when everyone gets home safe.

Wishing you a night full of laughs, costumes, and sweet memories.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, we are reminded that the need for safety and support continues every day.

One in four women and one in ten men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. At KC CARE Health Center, we believe health includes being safe at home.

When one of our patients shared what she was experiencing, her provider listened and connected her with resources that helped her move forward.

No one should have to face this alone. If you or someone you know needs support, KC CARE is here to help.
