Referred to as "RAPP", this program will work to help relatives who are raising children; especially as it relates to grandparents raising grandchildren. Why We Exist RAPP exists to let grandparents and relatives know that "You are not alone!" Problems that we encounter in everyday life can affect our families. More and more today, parents are unable to care for their children. Grandparents and other relatives frequently take on that responsibility in an effort to help. relatives. The 2000 Census Bureau Report shows that 2.4 millions grandparents are taking on primary responsibility for their grandchildren's needs, many without a parent in the home. In Kansas, 17,873 grandparents reported that they are raising their grandchildren. This is not just a caregiver issue, however. According to 2000 Census data, in the United States, more than six million children, approximately 1 in 12 children, are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. Of these, close to 20% are in the formal foster care system. The remaining 80% and the caregivers who are responsible for them receive little assistance, and may encounter systems that make it difficult to access even basic services, such as health care and educational services. Kansas has 35,274 children living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives.

The program has two staff members, whose duties include assisting and providing resources to D.A.R.E. officers across the state, making school visits, and coordinating the training required before officers can teach the lessons. D.A.R.E. was established in 1983 and continues to be an active partnership between parents, schools, and law enforcement. The program has grown to be the most popular and widely used prevention curriculum in the world. Kansas has 257 D.A.R.E. officers representing 122 law enforcement agencies in 58 counties. In 2001, more than 130,000 Kansas students in 394 schools from 161 districts received the D.A.R.E. program. D.A.R.E. is a school-based prevention curriculum designed to be delivered by uniformed law enforcement officers. Its goal is to assist students in developing knowledge, skills and attitudes that will help them avoid substance abuse and violence. D.A.R.E. is a partnership between schools, families and law enforcement that enhances the protective and social bonding factors in family, school and community. It helps students identify risk factors and works on building skills to avoid those risk factors. The core curriculum is designed for the exit level of elementary school (usually 5th or 6th grade), and consists of a 17-lesson format. The middle school and high school curriculums are each delivered in 10 lessons. All three of these curriculums use a workbook and are based on a cooperative learning strategy.
