In the Best Interest of the Child Event
The opioid crisis has touched many lives in our communities. Addiction affects much more than the addict, oftentimes creating complicated situations for children whose parents no longer have the ability or interest to care for them and other family members left to pick up the pieces.
Because of this, I am working with three dedicated women in our community to bring attention to the complicated and sometimes frustrating foster care system and to work on solutions that will benefit affected families.
If you are interested in learning more, please join us on May 3rd at the Holiday Inn in Manitowoc from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. We will hear from Wisconsin First Lady Tonette Walker, WI Department of Children & Families Secretary Eloise Anderson, Director Elizabeth Hudson of the WI Office of Children's Mental Health, and Julie Poehlmann-Tynan who is a professor at UW-Madison and who also works at the Center for Healthy Minds. The speakers will be followed by a panel featuring local officials.
