SOCCEED
Systems of Care in Community Emergent Events and Disasters
(Formerly, Jackson County Systems of Care and Children and Youth in Disasters)
The SOC's July 21st meeting focused on preparing every child no matter what their circumstances to have a successful start to a new school year.
On August 18th, the SOC will be taking a deeper dive into bullying and its impact on mental health and academic success. NAMI will be presenting along with a National expert on the topic of bullying. More details to come!
Dangerous heat across Kansas and Missouri is not uncommon during the summer. The NWS packet with forecasts can be found at: https://www.weather.gov/media/eax/DssPacket.pdf. The Ray Way has multiple categories of assistance including information about cooling centers under "Summer." This information will be updated on a continuous basis.
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.
"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."
