Description
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) seeks an organization to operate the Southern Region Children’s Resource Center, part of Wisconsin’s network of five regional centers. Supported by the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services block grant, the center provides free, confidential resource connections by phone and email to families and professionals supporting children and youth with special health care needs.
The program serves individuals aged 0–21 who have, or are at risk for, chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions requiring services beyond those generally needed by children. Services help families navigate complex diagnoses, educational and community resources, specialized provider networks, and health insurance options. The center also helps families build peer networks and identify advocacy opportunities.
