Children's car seats can be complicated, but they are crucially important to child safety! Correctly installing and understanding your child's car seat keeps them safe. If you're overwhelmed by this, the wonderful Myra can help you out at a 1:1 appointment! We offer a variety of services for this program:

Drive over with your car seats already installed, and Myra can check that they are correct.
Have a new car seat you want installed? Myra can do it for you.

To participate, we need information from you about your car, car seats, age of children, and more! After you submit the form on our website, Myra will contact you to set up an appointment. (She will have some capacity to do this around our other 4-C programs, but appointments must be scheduled in advance!)

Well Badger Resource Center

Introducing the WI Youth Wellness Hub!

Navigating mental or behavioral health services for youth can be daunting with barriers such as insurance, costs, and access, often leaving families overwhelmed and confused.

This free, confidential online tool, developed by the Well Badger Resource Center with input from families and mental health professionals, simplifies the process. Parents, caregivers, and professionals just need to answer a few questions about the youth's needs. The tool then creates a personalized guide to connect them with essential resources and support.

Thoughtful Parenting

This strength includes learning ideas and skills to meet each child’s needs as they grow and change through every age and stage.

Strengths in Action

There are no right answers. Thinking about these questions can help you understand your family’s strengths.

You understand that, even though it’s frustrating, waking up often at night is still normal for babies at this age.

You know that kids grow at different rates and have different talents. Part of parenting is helping them focus on their strengths and work on areas where they might need more support.
