Wisconsin Resources

The Office of Children’s Mental Health (OCMH) supports Wisconsin’s children in achieving their optimal social and emotional well-being. Their charge is to study, recommend strategies, and coordinate initiatives to improve integration of children’s mental health services across state agencies. 

Additionally, they convene stakeholders around improving the social connectedness of youth. Their goal is straightforward: if youth have vibrant, positive connections with family, peers, and supportive adults, their foundation will be strong, and they will be better prepared to build relationships as they move through life.
