SOCCEED
Systems of Care in Community Emergent Events and Disasters
(Formerly, Jackson County Systems of Care and Children and Youth in Disasters)
There is no formal monthly meeting in December because of the upcoming holiday. Please plan to join us for our next general membership meeting on January 20th at 1 p.m. The 2025 Year in Review and the plan for 2026 will be posted by December 19th. The SOC has some exciting plans for 2026 including a major new partnership that will greatly expand our capacity to serve communities!
With so much uncertainty about employment, finances, just trying to keep up with everything, it can have a significant impact on physical and mental health. Add to this, the upcoming holiday season and it can quickly become too much for anyone. Please check out these resources for assistance.
AT A GLANCE...
SOCCEED is not just a group or team but rather a family of social service organizations, local government, schools, places of worship, our neighbors, anyone invested in the lives of all residents across the Kansas City Metro area. This family has grown to include in 2024, "Children and Youth in Disasters" (CYID), a group dedicated to helping children successfully emerge from all types of traumas and disasters. The SOC and CYID have combined into a strong, unified partnership as we come together and create initiatives and programs that promote sustained hope, change, and independence for people that need it the most, but often receive the least assistance. Not trying is trying to fail and SOCCEED will never not try.
