Nearly 1 in 3 identified victims of human trafficking is a child.

That number represents children whose cases were found, reported, and documented.
It does not include the countless children who are never identified, never reported, or never recovered.

Human trafficking is a hidden crime. It often begins quietly with grooming, manipulation, and false promises, long before it looks like exploitation. Many children are mislabeled, misunderstood, or overlooked, which allows harm to continue unchecked.

During Human Trafficking Awareness Month and always, we believe awareness must lead to action.
We want children to be safe.
We want victims to be located.
And we want survivors to thrive, with dignity, support, and long-term care.

Statistics are not just numbers. They represent real lives, real families, and real urgency.

Please take a moment to read, reflect, and share.
You may help this message reach someone who needs it.

💙💚 This Is Only What Was Reported 💙💚

In 2024, children ages 0–19 made up 60.9% of criminal so**my cases in Kansas.

This statistic reflects only the cases that were reported.

Child sexual abuse is one of the most underreported crimes. Fear, grooming, manipulation, lack of understanding, and pressure to stay silent prevent many children from disclosing — and many survivors don’t come forward until adulthood, if at all.

If more than half of reported cases involve children, we must ask: how many more go unreported?

This is why prevention, education, and accountability matter:
• Teaching children body safety and abuse prevention
• Creating safe adults and systems that believe children
• Holding perpetrators accountable
• Supporting survivors at every stage of disclosure

These numbers represent real children. Silence protects perpetrators — awareness and action protect kids. 💙💚

💗 Community Partnership Spotlight 💗

Tampons
Feminine hygiene wipes
New women’s underwear and leggings

✨ Opened boxes of pads and tampons are welcome, as long as they are individually wrapped.

Thank you Saline County Health Department for the reminder! Self-care includes taking care of yourself when you are sick and minimizing exposure to others. Even if you “aren’t that sick”, you never know how the same virus could impact another person. Please stay home if you are sick. Telehealth options are available!

Respiratory illnesses are teaming up to wreck holiday plans. Make sure you're staying protected with the latest immunization options. And remember a really important rule of thumb for this holiday season: if you are sick... STAY HOME!

“The lower borrowing limits will discourage potential students from enrolling in an MFT program, with the most significant impact on potential students from rural, underserved, and marginalized communities.”

The impact of these changes will significantly impact many areas of healthcare and lead to even more barriers to treatment.

Starting on July 1, 2026, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) will bring many significant changes to graduate and undergraduate students who need federal student loans. Learn more with the link below.
