Attention UGES Families - Here is another excellent resource! DHS Launches Wisconsin Wayfinder: Children’s Resource Network: Last week the Wisconsin DHS launched a new service that will transform the support structure for families of children with delays, disabilities, special health care needs, or mental health conditions. Wisconsin Wayfinder helps families find county and statewide disability and mental health services beyond the support provided by schools. Wisconsin Wayfinder: Children’s Resource Network includes a user-friendly website and toll-free helpline that lets families easily connect with real people (dedicated children’s resource guides) who will help navigate through the essential services and supports that will enable their children to thrive. A statewide user-friendly website and toll-free number, 877-WiscWay (877-947-2929), provide families with convenient, direct access to compassionate and knowledgeable children’s resource guides.
