Wisconsin Family Ties is a statewide not for profit organization run by families for families that include children and adolescents who have emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders.

Description:
'1 in Every 5' - One in every five children and adolescents who appear healthy on the outside, suffer mental health problems on the inside. Unfortunately, many get inappropriate services or no treatment at all.
*With early detection and appropriate treatment chances are excellent that children with mental, emotional, or behavioral disorders can lead productive lives.
*Left untreated these disorders can limit a child's success in obtaining an education, holding a job, living independently, and forming happy and healthy relationships.
*Recognizing problems for what they are is the first step to ensuring young people get the help they need. Challenging behavior may be a warning sign of mental health needs.
*Seeking help for your child can mean all the difference in your child's overall health and well-being.
*There are no easy answers and that is why Wisconsin Family Ties is here to help - without judgment because we have been there too.
