Quad-County Community Partnerships for Protecting Children - CPPC A Comprehensive, Community-based Approach to Protecting Children in Des Moines, Henry, Lee & Louisa C

Community Partnerships for Protecting Children (CPPC) is a community-based approach to child protection. Partnerships work to prevent child abuse, neglect, re-abuse, safely decrease the number of out-of-home placements, and promote timely reunification when children are placed in foster care. The long term focus of the Community Partnerships is to protect children by changing the culture to improv

e child welfare processes, practices, and policies. We believe:
•Children should be with their own families, whenever possible.
•Families are stronger when all members, including caregivers, are safe from abuse.
•There is no substitute for strong families to ensure that children and youth grow up to be capable adults.
•Families need supportive communities to help them be strong and offer a sense of belonging.
•Children can best be kept safe when families, friends, residents, and organizations work together as partners.
•Services and supports need to be closely linked to communities in which families live.
•Government alone, through the Department of Human Services (DHS) agency, cannot keep children safe from abuse and neglect.
•Efforts to reduce abuse and neglect must be closely linked to broader community initiatives and priorities.

Discount Drugs, Designer Vapes, & Deception: What Students Face This Fall

It is back-to-school time, and over-the-counter drugs/legal drugs are cheaper than ever. What does that mean? The drug world is pricing your kids into the market… during a time of inflation where other items are more expensive!

Shown above are a few photos of discounted vapes and other popular street-level products that have now shown up in storefronts. In addition to these popular culture items, backpacks with stash pockets, high-dosing vapes that are marketed with 50K puffs, and more. Like I said earlier, it is back-to-school time, and this is the time to pay attention to new and expanding products.
