Solving the Child Mental Health Crisis: How MCW Is Leading Change in Wisconsin
Across Wisconsin, children are facing a mental health crisis with 48 out of 72 counties lacking even a single child psychiatrist. The Wisconsin Child Psychiatry Consultation Program, led by the Medical College of Wisconsin, is bridging this gap by empowering pediatricians statewide with direct access to expert mental health support.
In this powerful story of partnership, innovation, and hope, discover how one family’s tragic loss led to the creation of a program now transforming care for children across the state. With support from philanthropic champions like the Kubly family and groundbreaking research through MCW’s Neuroscience Research Center, we are reimagining what’s possible for youth mental health.
