February’s Empowerment Coalition of Milwaukee (ECOM) workshop brought together social service professionals to discuss programs and services that support individuals with autism as well as parents and family members of individuals living with a disability.

We were fortunate to have presenters from Children’s Wisconsin’s Center for Child Development and Parent to Parent program, Autism United, Goodwill–Greater Milwaukee and Chicago’s Disability Services, and Children’s Resource Center–Southeast.

Community Advocates is pleased to announce that Jessica Currie, Executive Director of Missionary Currie for Women and Children (MCWC), and real estate broker Angela Walters have joined its Board of Directors. Both leaders bring significant professional expertise and a deep commitment to Community Advocates' mission of supporting individuals and families with advocacy and services so they may live in dignity.
