Our Certified Parent Peer Support program empowers parents through the wisdom of lived experience and offering compassionate and practical guidance to navigate family needs. Services include one-on-one support, group sessions, and workshops tailored to diverse family and community needs.

Our Wraparound Family Advocacy Programs is made up of 3 key pillars:

• Engagement: Engage families in care and services through the valuable lived experience of parent peer specialists. Engagement is focused on listening to the families unique journey and developing a supportive plan with the family’s team to meet identified needs.

• Advocacy: Our advocacy services amplify family voices, ensuring families are heard in decisions impacting their lives. We provide resources and support, helping families navigate complex systems, advocate for resources, and drive community-driven change.

• Family Governance Council: The Family Governance Council is comprised of families/youth served by Children's Community Mental Health Services, the Wraparound Milwaukee system of care, and system partners. The Family Governance Council develops a plan of action and moves forward a set of recommended strategies to improve system functioning or address system improvements and needs.

Through Project Wise, PSL equips teens with decision-making tools and peer support to resist peer pressure. Using the Wyman Teen Outreach Program, we foster resilience and community among youth through a specialized curriculum facilitated by trained individuals.

Rooted in working towards a future where peer based solutions are part of the fabric of our communities we offer 3 prevention based programs:

• Youth Connections:  Monthly workshops, mentorship, and peer-led discussions support teens in building self-confidence and decision-making skills, helping them navigate adolescence with resilience and strength.

• Parent Cafes:  Parent Cafe is an opportunity to strengthen parents through connection by sharing their stories and collectively developing strategies. The Parent Cafe is designed to support families heal, build stronger relationships within their family structure, and foster nurturing environments. 

• Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP):
  PSL offers a 16-hour, evidence-based Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) workshops promoting dignity and supporting individuals experiencing mental health and substance use needs in achieving and maintaining wellness.
