The Kansas Children's Service League (KCSL) is a private non-profit agency that has been dedicated to meeting the changing needs of children and families in Kansas since 1893. The League merged with the Kansas Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse in 1993 and therefore became the Kansas Chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA). Upon becoming the Kansas Chapter of PCAA, KCSL expanded their prevention services to include Child Abuse Prevention Month activities, the Community Resource Library, the Governor's Conference on the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect, Parents Helping Parents Support Groups and the Parent Helpline.
In the United States, April is national Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Delta Dental of Kansas Foundation provided funding from 2005 to 2007 for child abuse and dental neglect information packets that were sent annually to more than 12,000 state-mandated reporters including childcare providers, school and public health officials and dental professionals. Each packet contained information about recognizing and reporting suspected cases of child abuse or dental neglect as well as resources to promote child abuse prevention.
