MCWP Name Change and Website Update

 

The Milwaukee Child Welfare Partnership (MCWP) at UW-Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Child Welfare Professional Development System (WCWPDS) at UW-Madison have long been partners in the project of providing professional development to child welfare staff and supervisors, foster/adoptive/relative caregivers, congregate care staff and home visiting/early childhood professionals throughout Wisconsin. Our vision has always been to function as a unified system. To better communicate that vision, we will operate under a single name with “branches” at the two campuses.  MCWP will become:

 

WCWPDS-UW Milwaukee.

 

You may start noticing updates to this website as the transition takes place and our websites combine. These changes should not disrupt your experience with our staff or services in any way. We hope our increased collaboration will enhance our ability to serve you and the quality of the services we offer. Our combined website features the new name, look and logo:  https://wcwpds.wisc.edu.  Course registration, resources and all the information you are used to getting from the MCWP website can be found in this new location.
