Building a future where children and families thrive

CPPR researcher introduces the Kansas Child & Family Well-Being Pathway, an interactive, community-informed tool helping Kansans use shared data and insights to strengthen child and family well-being statewide.

Project staff facilitated a community sensemaking workshop that brought data and lived experiences together.

CPPR has developed a powerful new mapping tool that transforms complex substance use disorder (SUD) data into clear, actionable insights for every Kansas county. Featuring interactive maps, county-level profiles, and a data-driven SUD Risks and Resilience Index, the tool helps communities understand local vulnerabilities, identify protective factors, and plan targeted interventions.

Through conversations with more than 2,000 Kansans—from people with lived experience to local leaders—one truth became clear: no single organization can fix a complex system alone. Communities thrive when partners come together, share power, and build solutions
