Evidence-Based Practice in Family Treatment Funding Opportunity. The Division of Care and Treatment Services is seeking applications for funding to support the implementation of Family Centered Treatment (FCT), an evidence-based designed for families with children who are at-risk of out-of-home placement. It helps families identify core emotional issues, identify functions of behaviors in a family system context, change emotional and behavioral maladaptive patterns, and strengthen attachment bonds. This model further supports families across systems using a wraparound philosophy and model to support families holistically and within their natural environments. This funding will support agencies to receive training and complete the entire certification program in FCT.
Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project. The Division of Care and Treatment Services is seeking applications for funding to provide statewide and Wisconsin-specific alcohol prevention and policy education, training, and technical assistance. This includes providing education and information on alcohol-related trends, gaps, and opportunities and providing guidance and implementation of evidence-based and environmental strategies and policies to prevent and reduce underage drinking, alcohol misuse, and binge drinking.

 

Training Grants and Programs Available to Boost Health Care Workforce. Strengthening the health care workforce is a key priority for Wisconsin, and the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) has training grants and programs available to help organizations address employment challenges. Funding is available now through Wisconsin Fast Forward to help employers launch an apprenticeship or alternative employee training program. 

  • DWD suggests first learning more about how apprenticeship programs helped UW Health, SSM Health, Western Wisconsin Health, and Children's Wisconsin address skills gaps in their workforce while reducing financial and operational barriers.
  • Then, connect with DWD via email ([email protected]) to start or expand Wisconsin Apprenticeship programs at your organization and to learn more about training grant opportunities.
Learning Event Support. Advancing Healthier Wisconsin’s Learning Event Support opportunity aims to improve the health of the people of our state by advancing Wisconsin’s health workforce to be increasingly more accessible, equipped, and representative to improve health for all Wisconsin residents. Funding will support Wisconsin-based learning events that build knowledge, skills, and networks among current Wisconsin-based health professionals and the next generation of leaders to explore new ideas that can be applied to their work to improve health in Wisconsin communities.
