Monday 10/10 is 🌎 World Mental Health Day, take time to talk with your kids about the negative impacts alcohol and other drugs can have on their mental health. Having short, frequent conversations early on is the first step to preventing underage drinking and other substance use. Even the park 🌳 can be the perfect place to start the conversation.

Thank you Brown County Foster parents!
Thank you Brown County Kinship Providers! You are making a difference in the lives of so many children!
September is Kinship Care Month! We recognize relatives, members of tribes and clans, and non-related extended family members who provide round the clock care and nurturance for their younger family members. Keeping children with relatives can help them maintain connections to family, community, and culture.
Whether informally arranged among family members or formally supported by the child welfare system, it is essential to affirm and support the considerable contributions of kinship caregivers.
Thank you for all you do for your family and community!
