October is National Children’s Health Month! According to National Institutes of Health (NIH) Children are often more vulnerable to pollutants than adults due to differences in behavior and biology, and these differences can lead to greater exposure or unique windows of susceptibility.

Find a children’s health expert in your community! The Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Units (PEHSUs) are dedicated to shielding children from environmental contaminants, offer invaluable advice and resources to parents, caregivers, healthcare providers and more. Missouri’s designated PEHSU (Mid-America Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit) is based out of Children’s Mercy in Kansas City.

Last week, MCC’s Denise and Brianna attended the ribbon cutting for Cornerstones of Care’s Education Campus and Learning Academy.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, tour the campus, and see the thought and care behind every detail. From the lockers to the classrooms, every space was designed with student success in mind.

What a special milestone. Thank you to Cornerstones of Care for inviting us to celebrate with you!

Young people aren’t waiting for change. They’re leading it.

⚖️ October is Youth Justice Action Month (YJAM).

Building a future where youth thrive requires more than asking young people for their opinions. It means creating meaningful opportunities for youth to influence decisions, develop solutions, lead initiatives, and hold systems accountable. Young people know what their communities need.

It’s time to make sure they have the space, resources, and power to lead.

📣 JUST ANNOUNCED: We are honored to welcome Alex J. Adams, PharmD, MPH, Assistant Secretary for Family Support at the Administration for Children and Families - ACF, as the opening speaker for our annual conference.

An ardent supporter of families and communities, Adams brings extensive experience in health, human services, education, and regulatory policy to his leadership of ACF.

At the Youth Congress Retreat, we had time for good food, go-karting and lots of laughs. We also made time for meaningful conversation and reflection.
We asked members to reflect, share their experiences and tell us what they want to see change.
Their perspectives remind us how important it is to create spaces for young people with lived experience to lead and shape our work.

Earlier this month MCC hosted the 3rd annual Youth Congress Retreat!

Youth Congress members came together from around the state to connect, learn and share ideas around our priority areas of impact. We also talked financial literacy, heard from a guest speaker who shared their powerful lived experience, shared plenty of good food, and even went on a go-karting adventure. 🏎️

Huge thanks to each of the facilitators and young people who showed up, we couldn’t have done this without you.💛
