Rock County is highlighted in the latest issue of the DMC Action Network e-Newsletter, reviewing some of the progress made over the past couple of years in creating alternatives to detention, implementing sound screening and assessment practices, and reducing reoffending.  Much of this progress began under the leadership of Jason Witt, who is now the Human Services Director in La Crosse County, and the delinquency team is now being led by Lance Horozewski. Congratulations for the progress made and hopes for more to come.                               Post by Jim Moeser

This process of destabilization not only prevents children from having a strong start but can persist over the course of their lives.

Everyone in Wisconsin, regardless of what county they live in, deserves to live in a community that supports their health and wellness, including access to quality, affordable mental health and substance use disorder services. Governor Evers’ proposed budget expands access to behavioral health care, strengthens schools’ abilities to provide mental health supports to students, invests in peer support, and provides millions in funding to county behavioral health services.
