This week, October 24th – 31st is National Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week. Remember, reducing children’s exposure to lead is one of the most identifiable and most easily remedied risk factors associated with a host of learning and behavior problems later in life.  Parents, educators, community groups, and social workers can all play a role in minimizing the risk of lead exposure to children.  You can access appropriate tool kits, kid-friendly videos, and other educational materials through the Department of Health Services website.  Making a difference in the lives of children in Wisconsin depends on you!

Join us to build a Wisconsin where every child and family thrives.
