Marsy's Law strengthened rights for crime victims in Wisconsin - including children. But rights on paper don't always translate into support a child can access.

CASA of Marathon County is paving the way for CASA organizations across the State, including ours, to close the gap. However, there is still work to be done. While Marsy’s Law allows a volunteer to support child victims, there aren’t guidelines about “how.”

We hit the jackpot with these Stand Up for Kids sponsors! 🎰✨

A huge thank you to Fuhrman + Dodge, S.C. and One Community Bank for going all in for kids.

Beyond their generous sponsorship, both have been incredible connectors - opening doors, helping us build meaningful partnerships, and bringing more people into the conversation. Awareness is the first step in prevention, and growing that awareness takes community. ♥️

Forty nine years ago, a young mom came to Madison determined to break the cycle of abuse in her family. She was looking for community, other parents who understood.

That search became Canopy Center. 💜

Since then, we've grown and adapted to the needs of our community - always focused on strengthening families and supporting children and youth impacted by trauma and adversity.

49 years of resilience.
49 years of community.
49 years of showing up.
And we're just getting started. ✨

Better support improves outcomes - in school, at home and in life!

What are sock poi - and why are we posting about them? 🧦

Some of our therapists use juggling to help deliver EMDR techniques with youth in a way that feels more fun and approachable.

Shop our Amazon wish list and help us add these hands-on therapy tools to our clinic! If just TWO sock poi are purchased, we'll share a behind-the-scenes video showing how they're used in session!
