KANSAS CITY —The Jackson County Prosecutor's Office will hold at least two more counseling sessions this week, the first on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024, at CPC (Child Protection Center) from 3 to 6 p.m., according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jan Peters Baker.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office also maintains a hotline number for persons who want to call and talk to someone. The hotline number is 816-881-1540.
CPC is located at 2940 Main Street in Kansas City. Mental health professionals and advocates will be available for persons who come to CPC. The center specializes in helping children.
A second event is being organized for Saturday, Feb. 24, at a location on Kansas City's westside. Check the Post for additional details on this event when it becomes available.
The prosecutor's office initiated these counseling sessions last week in the wake of the shootings at Union Station following the rally and parade. Since then, numerous churches, non-profit service providers and staff from the prosecutor's office have joined to help to bring counseling and some comfort to persons impacted emotionally by the tragic violence at the public event. The prosecutor's office extends its gratitude to all who have helped make these sessions valuable.
