Kansas City's specialized trauma treatment center serving the mental health needs of young children since 1978.
Give the Gift of Healing this Giving Tuesday
Give the gift of healing this Giving Tuesday when you donate to The Children’s Place. Gifts of any size can make a difference for a young child healing from traumatic events, helping them receive the mental health care they need to heal and thrive.
This Giving Tuesday, we challenge you to donate in honor of someone who has shaped your life. In exchange, you will receive a limited-edition Rudy Bear ornament to wrap and give to your loved one.
