ReCAST MKE Referral Survey

Purpose of Survey
 
We need your help!
 
Please complete the following survey to tell us how your organization connects youth and their caregivers to services such as mental or behavioral health, housing, workforce development, etc. We are working to develop a coordinated referral system amongst youth & familiy serving organizations, institutional partners and community systems. This initiative is in partnership with Community Advocates Public Policy Institute. 
 
When responding, please think about the specific program you work in or manage. "Participants" are youth and/ or their caregivers you serve.
 
 
About ReCAST MKE and the City of Milwaukee Health Department Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) 
Many youth and families in Milwaukee are exposed to individual and community trauma resulting from structural racism, concentrated disadvantage and violence. There is also limited access to culturally specific, trauma responsive healing services and activities.
 
OVP is committed to preventing violence through partnerships that strengthen youth, families and neighborhoods.  ReCAST MKE, an initiative of OVP, is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It promotes healing and restorative practice among youth aged 12-24 and their families. It also aims to reduce the impact of trauma in Milwaukee by enhancing individual and community resilience, building the capacity of organizations to have healing focused care practices, and strengthening collaboration between organizations and community. 
 
The mission of ReCAST MKE is to “advance healthy youth and families through community-based collaborations that promote healing, equity and justice.”
