OUR MISSION
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 .
30th Annual Children Come First Conference
The Children Come First Conference is for those caring for, working with, or concerned with the well being of children and youth with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Each year, this conference brings together professionals, educators, and families, with national experts in the field of children’s mental health. The theme for this year’s conference is “Cooperation” and we’re excited to welcome keynote speakers Mona Delahooke & David Romano. Join us November 11th and 12th at Glacier Canyon Conference Center in Wisconsin Dells!

Again our thanks, and we’ll look forward to seeing even more friends at the 2019 Gala!
