Summer has ended and school has started - what a busy time of year! In this e-Bulletin, we highlight the return of children to the Marshfield Clinic Youth Net Afterschool program.
Did you know that children who attend a quality afterschool program are better positioned for academic success, personal/social development and better health outcomes? That is really good news for the 128,000 Wisconsin children participating in afterschool programs, including those enrolled in Youth Net. This is year 28 for Youth Net - a quality program that has stood the test of time!
This issue also marks the beginning of our 17th year of AmeriCorps programming. Please join us in welcoming 70+ Marshfield Clinic AmeriCorps members dedicated to volunteerism and to positive youth development through afterschool opportunities.
As always, please
the CCO e-Bulletin with others that you believe may be interested. Previous editions of the e-Bulletin are archived on the CCO website. If you would like hard copies of our annual report or if you have suggestions for future editions, questions, or concerns, please contact Becky Wagner and she will put you in touch with the person best able to respond - your feedback is always welcome!
Thank you for your interest in MCHS community engagement and community health improvement efforts.

Marshfield Clinic Center for Community Outreach

Wisconsin Afterschool Network (WAN) and Marshfield Clinic Launch Statewide Training
|
Through a partnership with Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF), we have launched a series of statewide Community of Practice educational sessions for afterschool professionals. This is part of a targeted effort to bring together the state's largest youth serving organizations, YMCAs and Boys & Girls Clubs, to support efforts to provide quality programming for the thousands of children they serve each year. Community of Practice sessions are being held in Milwaukee, Kimberly and online. More details can be found
here.
Since 2008, Marshfield Clinic has provided leadership for WAN, a state-wide intermediary organization that supports/develops education, technical assistance and policy approaches for funding, regulation and quality for afterschool and youth serving programs.

Partnership Accelerates Substance Abuse Prevention
Marshfield Clinic & Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS)
|
|
Thanks to an investment of nearly 2 million dollars over the next 4 years, Marshfield Clinic will intensify efforts with 8 high need counties. CCO staff will provide education, training, technical assistance and financial resources to help decrease prescription drug misuse and abuse, among persons aged 12-25, in Ashland, Eau Claire, Florence, Forest, Menominee, Vilas, Douglas and Oneida counties.
This new resource is from a federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant awarded to DHS, passed on in part to CCO, adding capacity to the funding that supports our prevention efforts for over 50 coalitions that belong to the
Northwoods Coalition.
