Delinquency Prevention Program Grant. This program will fund projects that aim to support youth at-risk of delinquency or delinquent youth to prevent first time or future offenses. Funding will support three types of programs: 1) Mental health services for at-risk youth as a prevention program and for court-involved youth to prevent recidivism; 2) Prevention activities, including early interventions, mentoring, and deflection programs especially those supporting youth school belonging, and addressing absenteeism, suspension, and expulsion; and 3) Wraparound programs that support youth in their families.
Suicide Prevention Programming Grants. The Division of Care and Treatment Services is seeking applications for funding to support suicide prevention programming focused on improving the quality of clinical care in health and behavioral health care systems. The population of focus is adults with serious mental illness (SMI). 

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.
