Purpose of the Health Care/Emergency Worker Support Bonus
• This one-time bonus is to provide recognition to child care providers and elevate the importance of ensuring that child care options are available to the health care and emergency workforce in Kansas.
• Due to the increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 by caring for children of workers (parents/legal guardians) on the frontlines, a bonus acknowledges the additional protective measures needed to ensure a child care provider can meet the demand of a healthy and safe environment.

Prevention ServicesWhat is prevention for DCF
With the growing number of children in foster care, it is
evident there is a need for partnerships alongside families in
communities with local organizations, private providers, and
other stakeholders working together. The goal is to generate
innovations to reduce entry into foster care and increase the
array of evidence-based services available to serve the needs
of Kansas families.

Tier ModelFamily Preservation
Families and DCF staff will choose a tier of services to best meet the family needs
Tier 1 will be intensive in-home services provided by a master’s level practitioner for up to six weeks. Example: A pregnant woman using alcohol and/or substances during pregnancy or a family whose infant is born substance-exposed or substance-affected
Tier 2 will be short-term case management services, provided by a case manager and a family support worker, for three to six months. Example: A family lacks adequate parenting skills to care for a child with difficult behavior at home or school, placing that child at risk for out of home placement or in-patient mental health treatment without services
