This spotlight series is designed to profile members of the Racine Collaborative for Children’s Mental Health. Over the coming months, the series will feature individual Collaborative members, each of whom is integral to the group’s efforts to forge stronger connections and establish new approaches to strengthen the social and emotional development of our children.
This series is an opportunity to highlight and recognize the diverse individuals, services and resources available to the Racine community.
Words from Michael, a Hero for Health:
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with a multitude of families, all of whom have faced difficulties in various ways. I have seen first hand how different family dynamics and situations can have a direct impact on our children. Many times, children have been placed in high levels of care due to our shared failure in identifying their problems earlier.
Wisconsin is home for me. I received my Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling and Educational Psychology from Marquette University and have been working in the state since 1982. Helping the families and children of my community has always been my passion.
