Frequently Asked Questions

CAPACares helps children, adults, and families feel safe, supported, and strong. We provide counseling, home visiting support, and community education programs. Our goal is to help people heal, grow, and build healthy relationships.

We offer three main types of services:
  • Counseling for people of all ages.
  • Home visiting through Healthy Families Jackson County™, which supports parents and caregivers
  • Community education, including parenting classes, social-emotional learning, and mandated reporter training
If you’re not sure which service is right for you, we can help you figure that out.

If you are worried about a child’s safety, it’s important to speak up. Making a report can help connect a child and their family to support and resources they may urgently need. You do not need proof to make a report—just a concern.

Reports can be made anonymously, and the goal is always to protect children and help families.

You can call the child abuse hotline for your state or the national hotline:
  • Missouri: 1-800-392-3738 (Outside Missouri: 573-751-3448)
  • Kansas: 1-800-922-5330 (Outside Kansas: 785-296-0044)
  • National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453
If you’re unsure whether to report, remember calling can be the first step toward help, healing, and safety for a child.

Healthy Families Jackson County™ is a home visiting program that supports parents and caregivers with young children up to age three. Family Support Specialists offer guidance, encouragement, and tools to help families thrive.

To learn more or get started, email our Family Support Team or call (816) 252-8388.

We offer parenting skills classes, prevention education, social-emotional learning programs, and mandated reporter trainings.

You can find upcoming find upcoming Parenting Skills Training (PST) classes and register online here. To schedule a presenter or ask questions, email our Community Education Manager or call (816) 601-0550 x 212.

Because of the sensitive nature of our work, on-site volunteer opportunities are limited. However, there are still meaningful ways to support CAPACares.

Please email or call our Development Office at (816) 252-8388 x313. We’d love to talk with you about how you can help.
