Milwaukee Succeeds is helping parents and early educators turn their passion into action. On September 14, the organization launched its new Early Childhood Education Advocacy Training Series, a six-part course aimed at equipping educators and community members with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively advocate for change.

Last year, three tenacious members of the MKE ECE Coalition banded together to create a series of mental health trainings specifically for Spanish-speaking providers. Following the clear success of the program, it was expanded to include a train-the-trainer model, broadening the scope to include even more educators.

By developing a mental health curriculum specifically designed for Milwaukee’s Spanish-speaking community, three ECE Coalition members prioritized the unique needs and experiences of this often-overlooked population.
