Building Healthy Families (BHF) mission tours guide visitors through the programs and services KCSL provides to help prevent child abuse, strengthen families and empower parents and youth. Unlike a building tour, BHF tours provide an intimate setting for visitors to not only engage with KCSL but also discover simple ways they can help spread awareness of KCSL’s mission, such as inviting a friend to a tour or referring a family to KCSL services. To participate in a tour, contact Jeremy Kindy at jkindy@kcsl.org or 316.942.4261 x1371.
