Community Support Coaching

In Kansas, we are All in for Kansas Kids! In support of children and families in Kansas, CPPR partners with communities and organizations to offer Community Support Coaching as a way to improve and strengthen connection, collaboration, and quality of services for families.

CPPR’s team of community coaches is here to listen to your group’s unique experiences and tailor support to meet your needs.

Each community and organization’s needs are unique. Though needs are unique, challenges are often universal. Limited resources, challenges in collaboration, external stressors and unclear goals or direction can lead to feeling unproductive, frustrated, or unsure of what the next steps should be.
Partnering to build communities where Kansas families thrive
