Child/Adolescent Mental Health Updates
The WIAAP Foundation is moving forward with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Teleconference Series, facilitated by Dr. Jim Meyer.  To recommend an expert for the advisory panel, please contact Kia LaBracke, KLaBracke@aap.net.
 
WIAAP has been invited to the advisory committee for the new Child and Adolescent Mental Health Scorecard project.  The group will examine the feasibility of a scorecard of key indicators to measure the status of Wisconsin's child and adolescent mental health system to help inform health policy decision making.  A model scorecard will be developed and tested with stakeholders and potential users.
 
Legislative Update: Raw Milk (AB 628 and SB 434)
The chapter stands opposed to these bills, which would permit the sale of unpasteurized milk.  Legalizing the sale of and therefore increasing accessibility to this product will result in a rise in food-borne disease. 
 
Contact your legislators now to weigh in on this issue.
