Message from Children's Hospital

Dear Children's Wisconsin Family –

Kids across Wisconsin are facing a mental and behavioral health crisis. They have high rates of anxiety, depression and suicide, and not enough access to care. But with your help, we can change that!

Thanks to many generous benefactors, Children’s Wisconsin is equipped to face this crisis head-on. We have a five-year plan to detect needs sooner, reduce stigma and improve access to care.

Children’s believes that caring for a child’s mental and behavioral health is just as important as caring for their physical health. And for that to happen, it is critically important that we provide education and resources to help parents and families understand and address this complex topic.

Thanks to many generous benefactors, including Kohl’s, Children’s has launched Shine Through – a multi-year awareness campaign designed to reduce stigma and encourage parents to talk with their kids about their mental health.

As a Children’s Wisconsin supporter, we invite you to help us Shine Through and light a path forward to better mental and behavioral health for our kids.
