Welcome to Family Voices of Wisconsin.

We want to hear your voice!   Contact Us

Family Voices of Wisconsin is a statewide network of families who have children and youth with special health care needs and/or disabilities and those who work on their behalf. We support families by providing information, training and leadership opportunities so that families can be informed and effective partners in their child’s care and in the systems that support them.

Family Voices of Wisconsin is an affiliate of the national Family Voices and we are the home to Wisconsin’s Family to Family Health Information and Education Network. We work closely with the Regional Centers for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs around Wisconsin to make sure families find the resources they need. (To learn more go to About Us)
