Children’s Wisconsin - Milwaukee 76th Street Clinic

Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Community Services, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a division of Children's Wisconsin — the state's only health care system dedicated exclusively to the health and well-being of children and adolescents. Ranked among the best pediatric hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in five specialties for 2025-2026, Children's Wisconsin brings world-class clinical expertise into the community through an extensive network of outpatient behavioral health, developmental, and support services.

Community-Based Behavioral Health Programs
The Community Services division extends Children's Wisconsin's mission beyond hospital walls, delivering mental health and behavioral health services in schools, homes, clinics, and community settings throughout the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Programs are designed to reach children and families who may face barriers to accessing care in traditional clinical environments, including transportation challenges, insurance gaps, and cultural or linguistic barriers.

Services include outpatient individual and family therapy, psychiatric evaluation and medication management, crisis intervention, intensive in-home therapy, school-based mental health counseling, care coordination, and wraparound services that connect families with housing, food security, and other social support resources. Clinicians specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and other childhood behavioral and emotional conditions.

Trauma-Informed and Evidence-Based Care
Children's Wisconsin Community Services employs evidence-based treatment models including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Multisystemic Therapy (MST), and Coordinated Specialized Care (CSC) for early psychosis intervention. All programs operate within a trauma-informed care framework that recognizes the widespread impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on long-term health and development.

Serving Milwaukee's Most Vulnerable Youth
Milwaukee faces significant pediatric behavioral health disparities, with rates of childhood poverty, community violence exposure, and unmet mental health needs that exceed state and national averages. Children's Wisconsin Community Services specifically targets these disparities through programs that prioritize equity, accessibility, and culturally responsive care. The organization partners with Milwaukee Public Schools, community organizations, and government agencies to build a coordinated system of care that supports children and families across every stage of development.
