Sexual Assault Services

BeLEAF Survivors seeks to provide a safe and compassionate environment to promote hope and healing after sexual assault. The “LEAF” portion of BeLEAF means lifting, empowering, advocating, and fighting for survivors, allies, and a culture of consent. The Sexual Assault Services program of BeLEAF Survivors is deemed the “Sexual Assault Service Provider” for Racine County by the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and as such is the only program in our county that is dedicated to the full continuum of needs of sexual assault victims. Services include a 24 hour crisis line, 24 hour hospital response, family advocacy at the Racine County Child Advocacy Center, personal and legal advocacy, counseling/therapy, support groups, and community awareness/education. All of our services are available in English and Spanish and are provided free of charge.

Children's Wisconsin School Based Mental Health

Children’s provides an array of mental and behavioral health services at urban, suburban and rural schools across the state. Our school-based approach increases access to early intervention by treating kids quickly in a comfortable, accessible, familiar setting that families already know and trust. Our mental health professionals partner with school guidance counselors, social workers, psychologists, teachers, parents and administrators to provide comprehensive, integrated programs of prevention, identification and treatment of mental and behavioral health concerns within the school setting.

Opportunities Club

Opportunities Club is an after school and summer programming series for 3rd - 5th grade youth that provides unique educational experiences. This program is facilitated by Focus programming staff and also utilizes high school students as Teen Peer Mentors. The program teaches topics ranging from cooking to robotics, while at the same time helping participants develop skills that will reduce the likelihood that they engage in risky behavior. It is essential that we take a holistic approach in preventing substance abuse and other risky behavior. We know that after school and during the summer are times when youth have a greater risk of choosing to engage in activities that may lead them to dangerous or pattern forming behaviors. Opportunities Club provides participants with wholesome, engaging and productive activities that help promote positive decision making, set them on a better path for their future and introduces new activities that may help to discover a new passion!

Advancing Family Assets

The Advancing Family Assets (AFA) program promotes family success and stability by providing one-on-one coaching and support with a focus on three key areas: income, health, and education. Coaches work with clients to identify strengths and goals, develop individual success plans and access local resources. The AFA program provides free coaching and support relating to employment, financial management, educational opportunities. The employment coaching aspect includes resume building and interviewing etiquette. The financial management aspect includes helping clients understand and build credit, eliminate debt, and create and utilize a budget. Additionally, the educational opportunities aspect includes exploring GED/HSED assistance, continuing education opportunities and job training programs for adults and tutoring, enhancing relationships within families, boundaries and communication, addressing nutrition, exercise, mental health, and gaining healthy coping skills for youth.

Multi-Hub FAST (Families and Schools Together)

FAST is an innovative and collaborative prevention and parent-involvement program in which families gather to participate in specific, fun, researched based activities aimed at strengthening families and empowering parents. Schools, families and two community partners join together in eight weekly sessions. During the 2 1/2 hour sessions families spend the first hour participating in research-based family activities that include a family meal, games, music and crafts and then the group separates into child and parent groups for the second hour. During this time parents participate in a peer led group discussing topics and concerns they are interested in while building an informal support network. Children participate in hands on activities, story time, games, and crafts. In the last 30 minutes of the program parent and child dyads take part in 15 minutes of special play and the group closes with announcements a lottery, and a final group activity called RAI.

Racine Vocational Ministry’s Walk-In program serves all of Racine County. Last year it assisted approximately 150 participants providing: community outreach, comprehensive intake, employment readiness and life skills training, employment counseling, intensive case management, job referral and placement, employer recruitment, work experience, educational and employment support. Walk-In participants are those who, for many reasons, need supportive services and assistance in finding employment. United Way funding allows RVM to serve some of Racine’s most under-served residents who are almost universally in desperate need of employment, job support and long-term vocational guidance.
