Outcome Report

2018
Through its grant, Thriving Wisconsin (previously Supporting Families Together Association (SFTA)) and its grant partners focused on improving health outcomes by implementing a tiered model of consultation services delivered by quality coaches and infant mental health (IMH) consultants to address disparities in rates of expulsion among young children in Wisconsin. Beyond direct services, the initiative aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this tiered model in both urban (Milwaukee) and rural (Western Wisconsin) settings, with the goal of informing policy and system-level changes.
