Family Support Center
The Family Support Center is a great resource in our community. They provide services around domestic violence, sexual assault, parenting services, AODA prevention and protective behaviors. As a school, we partner with several family support center advocates to provide groups and 1-1 support to our students. Some groups we have facilitated with students are: Talk About It (Teen Dating Violence Prevention), Healthy Relationships and Anger Insight. We are very fortunate to have this wonderful partnership.
If you have any questions go to the Family Support Center website or contact Teresa Wahl, School Social Worker at Chippewa Falls Senior High School.
