As June begins, recall that May was Mental Health Awareness Month.  WCCF released its publication, Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Wisconsin’s Children, in early May, and in this posting we are disseminating a short brief providing a unique way to look at and think about the ingredients that make wraparound approaches successful in providing services to children and families across the state.  Titled, Wraparounds Recipe for Success, the short piece highlights some of the lesser discussed system reforms and implementation strategies that make a wraparound/systems of care approach different than implementing traditional services and why it is important to think about these approaches as “system change” efforts.

Wisconsin relies far too much on incarceration and blames children for system-wide failures.

Kids Forward supports SB801/AB845, which would eliminate juvenile life without parole. This critical advancement towards a more developmentally appropriate juvenile justice system will reduce and repair harm, decrease racial disparities, increase child and family wellbeing, and increase opportunities for community-based alternatives to incarceration.
