Thank you to this fantastic crew from Chicken N Pickle - North Kansas City who transformed our lower parking lot on Tuesday with some major landscaping work! These volunteers weren't afraid to get their hands dirty, heaving huge sections of overgrown plants and vines down from the fenceline.

This volunteer day was a part of Chicken N Pickle Headquarters's nationwide "Our Hearts Are Local Day," closing their locations to give their employees a chance to make a difference at local organizations. We're so grateful for their work, helping prepare our lower parking lot for Taste at The Place later this month.

Thank you, Chicken N Pickle!

We were honored to be the designation for the state of Missouri to receive $5,000 from J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines as a part of their "50 Years, States & Ways of Giving" campaign!

Thank you to the generous team at J. Lohr for choosing to support young children's mental health through this gift to The Children's Place. Thank you also to our friends at Fore the Kids Foundation who helped create this connection. Your support will help ensure these little ones receive the mental health care they need to heal and thrive. Thank you!

When a child discharges from The Children's Place, they get to take home their very own plush Rudy Bear so that they can take a bit of The Children's Place with them wherever they go.

Earlier this month, one of our friends had his last day in our Day Treatment program. When his therapist gave him his Rudy Bear, he screamed, "My bear!" His therapist was shocked, as she said the child rarely speaks, let alone with such clarity. He then squealed, "Rudy Bear!"

He grabbed the cuddly green bear and happily boarded the bus for the last time. Now, the same Rudy Bear who greeted him every day at The Children's Place will be there with him at home, reminding him of this Place of healing and his journey here.

How can you know the difference between ordinary back-to-school jitters and clinical anxiety?

It’s normal for kids to have school stress that might look like “butterflies” in their belly or having trouble sleeping the night before. They might even complain about being bored, feeling restless or having a headache or stomachache.

If your child has a long-term inability to focus, it’s likely time to seek professional help. They may have oversensitivity to loud sounds, textures or being touched. These can be signs that they might benefit from talking with a professional counselor.

Our Counseling Center is here as a resource for children ages eight and younger who might be experiencing these challenges or others. Learn more at the link in our profile.
