About this grant
This grant to Marshfield Clinic, Inc., will enable the Wisconsin Statewide Afterschool Network to develop afterschool programming that better supports children who have experienced trauma. This grant will: 1) develop and provide training and technical assistance to support trauma-sensitive and responsive afterschool systems; 2) develop replicable services and guidance to afterschool programs in this area; and 3) support the development of policies focused on increasing trauma-sensitive afterschool programs. The grantee will share lessons learned with other state networks in addressing these challenges in support of children in afterschool programs.
