CHANGING LIVES BY IMPROVING CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH
Wisconsin Family Ties (WFT) is the only statewide, parent-run organization in Wisconsin working with families that include children with social, emotional or behavioral challenges. We walk beside families to provide emotional support while helping to navigate the complex service and treatment systems with which they are involved .

Wisconsin Family Ties’ advocacy contributes to the passage of Senate Bill 527, amending Wisconsin’s seclusion & restraint law.
Passed by the Assembly on February 20, 2020, the Bill now heads to Governor Evers for his signature! Among other improvements to the law, the amendment will require school districts to provide seclusion & restraint incidence data to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (not just to school boards); require schools to provide written incident reports to parents (not just notify them that the report exists); and outlaw prone restraints.
