The Air Quality Index (AQI) can help you track local air quality and understand the health risks of #wildfire smoke. When air quality is unhealthy, stay inside as much as possible and reduce outdoor activity. Check the AQI at airnow.gov.

What do you do when a child discloses abuse? - Listen calmly and pay attention to your body language (don't lean in close to the child, maintain a calm expression). - Allow silence in the conversation so that the child can take their time. - Say things like, "I believe you" "What happened is not your fault" "This takes a lot of courage" "I'm very proud of you for telling me". - Write down the actual words a child uses in the interaction. - Report abuse as soon as possible. Call the Kansas Protection Report Center at 1-800-922-5330, RCPD at (785) 537-2112 OR fill out a report at dcf.ks.gov/.../pps/Pages/KIP… - Local Resource - Stepping Stones Child Advocacy Center (785) 537-6867
