Serving women and girls in
Waukesha County since 2004!
Your support strengthens families
While serving a sentence for drug charges, Angela, a 43-year-old mother of four, participated in parenting classes offered by Parents Place of Waukesha. After her release, Angela realized she needed to do more to restore and strengthen her relationship with her children. She turned to Parents Place for additional support: a class that helped her balance parenting and her recovery, plus one-on-one support through an intensive parenting program funded by the Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County (WGF).

Putting her new positive parenting skills into practice, Angela says she has developed a closer relationship with her children. Her household is “calmer,” she reports, and she remains sober, thanks to the support she gained in and out of jail. Parents Place’s programs for incarcerated mothers served 35 women in Waukesha County in 2020 through a $15,000 grant from the WGF.
