Operation Breakthrough – Catching Those Who Fall Through The Cracks and Restorative Justice With The Center For Conflict Resolution

Plugging The Gaps Children Fall Through With Operation Breakthrough Operation Breakthrough is a nationally accredited, not-for-profit corporation that began in 1971 by Sister Corita Bussanmas and Sister Berta Sailer as a response to requests from parents in the central city for quality child care for children of the working poor. Things have hanged a lot since 1971 and the programs offered range from Educational programs, before and after care, tutoring and mentoring for children. They have partnered with Children's Mercy Hospital and others to provide healthcare, Speech and language therapy as well as Occupational and physical therapy for children. The needs of families as a whole are addressed by programs like Family Nuturing plans, Housing for homeless families and assistance accessing other programs. Sister Berta will be in today to talk about the work of Operation Breakthrough, who they are helping, how you can help them and the other organizations that are involved in their efforts.
