At Children's Wisconsin, we believe kids deserve the best.
Every child deserves a safe and loving home. When parents are unable to provide this on their own, intervention is needed to ensure these children are free of abuse and neglect.
We provide child well-being services to help children live in a safe and nurturing environment. We provide services to parents needing education and guidance to improve their parenting skills so their children can remain with them. We also provide services to children who are placed with foster families until they can return home or become part of an adoptive family.
Our experienced professionals provide the following services to families in Milwaukee County and at locations throughout Wisconsin.
