Special Projects
Healthy kids in every way.
We provide advocacy, professional development, cutting-edge research, evidence-based practices, and special projects that empower comprehensive pediatric care.
Pediatric Mental Health
Mental health matters for kids, too.
Mental health is critical to a child’s overall development. To fully shape social skills, academic performance, relationships, and abilities to cope, the emotional, psychological, and social needs of children must be met.
Early identification and intervention make a vital difference in preventing long-term mental health issues.
Immunization
Make every shot count.
Our efforts ensure Kansas pediatricians are equipped with the latest information, tools, and support to make vaccines as easy and comfortable as possible. We’re here to make sure every shot counts—so kids can focus on growing, playing, and staying healthy.
Pediatricians in Action
Funding is available for community difference-makers.
Every KAAP member has personal aspirations aimed at positively affecting their patients and community. For these visionary KAAP dreamers, we created the Pediatricians in Action award.
Physician Well-being
Mental health resources for pediatricians.
Pediatricians’ mental health and well-being are essential to providing high-quality care, preventing burnout, and modeling healthy behavior.
When pediatricians prioritize their mental health, they enhance their ability to connect with their patients, advocate for change, and reduce stigmas surrounding mental health. Supporting pediatricians’ well-being is critical for making sure they are able to provide effective care, which results in positive outcomes for children and families.
