Vision Statement
Brown County youth and young adults will collaborate with system partners to provide:
- Individualized wrap-around supports to create a mentally and physically healthy environment for growing and learning, with partners who are culturally competent to serve youth who are LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, pregnant, parenting, fleeing domestic violence, and fleeing human trafficking.
- A variety of housing options that meet the needs of youth, with youth-chosen services and pathways.
- Mental health, reproductive and preventive health care, and addiction services
- Changes to laws and policies that are standing in the way of youth accessing and receiving the services they want and need.
