For Immediate Release
Feb. 19, 2024
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., Jackson County Prosecutor Jan Peters Baker announced today.
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. But more details will come later this week on the second counseling session.
The prosecutor's office initiated these counseling sessions last week in the wake of the shootings at Union Station following the rally and parade last Wednesday, Feb. 14. 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.
