CYSHCN: Children’s Resource Centers
Wisconsin has five Children’s Resource Centers devoted to supporting families with children and youth (ages 0-22) with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and the providers who serve them.
From taking steps towards initial diagnosis through young adulthood, Children’s Resource Centers have parents and professionals available who can help get answers, find services, connect with community resources, provide trainings, and support families on their journey. Children’s Resource Centers provide free and confidential services and have up to date information on a variety of topics, including:
- Offering training, technical assistance and resources to support medical home implementation.
- Communicating with schools.
- Facilitating parent-to-parent support.
- Providing information on specific diagnosis.
- Identifying services in the community or state.
- Locating doctors and dental care.
- Transitioning to adult settings.
- Understanding health benefits.
If you have a child with special health care needs, or if you have concerns about your child, contact Wisconsin Wayfinder to get connected with an array of supports and services.
