Connecting Families is working to develop new approaches for peer support in rural areas based on the interests of families, available resources in the community, and the unique landscape of rural Wisconsin.
Leaders with lived experience have been identified and are starting to explore options that resonate with rural families. As we work to grow our network of peer support in these areas, we would love to connect with you!
