Introducing a new tool for children’s mental and behavioral health!
Do you have concerns about a child’s mental or behavioral health? Help is out there, but due to different options, insurance, and cost, it can be difficult and confusing to find the right service(s).
The WI Children's Mental & Behavioral Health Navigator is a free, confidential, online tool designed to help parents, caregivers, and professionals in Wisconsin navigate (find, access, pay for) mental and behavioral health services and support for children, adolescents, and young adults under the age of 21. Just answer a few questions about the child, and the Navigator provides a customized guide to connect the child with the resources and support they need and deserve.
Developed by the Well Badger Resource Center with the help of families with lived experience and mental health professionals.
