About the Next Step Clinic
The Next Step Clinic, winner of Marquette University’s first-ever “President’s Challenge,” operates as a satellite of Mental Health America of Wisconsin and serves the mental health and developmental needs of Milwaukee’s underserved children and families. The clinic offers family navigation and developmental assessment services and trauma-focused therapies for children and families. Through the President’s Challenge, President Lovell and the Johnson Controls Foundation committed to awarding a $250,000, two-year grant to Next Step, allowing it to address an area of neighborhood inequity through an interdisciplinary approach.
