Wellpoint Care Network, a Milwaukee-based non-profit organization, announced a summer series of group classes to help kids explore mindfulness, creativity, healing, and more.
Milwaukee With Kids is proud to partner with them to spread the word about their summer classes for youth.
Each class is offered one day each week for eight weeks total from June 20 – August 15, 2022, and are now open to all children ages 6–18. (no classes the week of July 4).
Participating youth will need to have an appointment with one of Wellpoint’s clinical therapists prior to the first day of class so they can be placed with peers by age and developmental level.
Services will be billed through insurance.
