The Wisconsin Association of Family & Children's Agencies is the united voice of leaders in the behavioral health and human services sector serving more than 200,000 individuals and families throughout Wisconsin.

We promote public policy, best practice, and partnerships that support our member agencies in pursuing their mission to improve the lives of children and families. 

Policy & Advocacy Priorities

WAFCA  works on key policy priorities in family supports, child welfare, mental health treatment access, and workforce initiatives in Wisconsin. By drawing on family stories and provider experience, we educate policymakers and our communities about the work our members do to enhance the quality of mental health and family services statewide.
