When a parent has no one to watch their younger children, or when a family’s only car is in the shop, getting to therapy can feel impossible - especially in the midst of trauma.

From January through September 2025, supporters like you made sure children and families could access the sexual abuse treatment services they needed.

Because of your generosity, parents and caregivers were able to meet with their child's therapist or have a moment of respite - without having to worry about their children; make it to appointments they may have otherwise had to cancel; and receive treatment in their first language.

Thank you for helping ensure every child has the opportunity to feel safe, supported, and truly begin to heal.

Earlier this week, we joined local partners from across the human services sector - including the Sensitive Crimes; Homeless Services; and Children, Youth & Families Coalitions - for a day of connection and collaboration at the Dane County Provider Summit. 🤝🏼

The event began with remarks from County Executive Melissa Agard and new Human Services Director John Schlueter, followed by a thoughtful panel of community leaders.

At a time when resources are stretched thin, opportunities like this are especially impactful. Our team appreciated the chance to connect with other providers and strengthen relationships that help us better link children and families with the services and supports they need. 💜

💡You may not know: many of the organizations that support Dane County Department of Human Services are non-profits!

Many families in our community are feeling the impact of the recent change in SNAP benefits. While the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has shared that FoodShare members will receive partial benefits in November, we also know that for many, this will not meet the full need.

If you or someone you know could use additional support during this time, the following local resources can help bridge the gap and provide access to groceries and meals right now. 🍎🥕🍗
