Rural Communities

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!

  • Where do you live?
  • What types of support already exist in your community for families of children and youth with special health care needs?
  • Where are your needs not being met when it comes to feeling supported?
  • What hopes and dreams do you have for peer support in your area?

If you have an idea, or would like to get more involved, please reach out! We look forward to connecting with you.
