La Causa's Prevention Programs strengthen and support families in an effort to prevent child abuse and neglect.
La Causa's Crisis Nursery and Respite Center is a 12-bed facility for sheltering children ages newborn to 12 years in times of family emergency/crisis or when a highly-stressed parent needs respite care, a "time out" to prevent the possibility of child abuse and/or neglect. Our bilingual staff provides a safe, nurturing and homelike environment for the children until the family situation is stabilized. Meanwhile, crisis management, support, information and referrals are provided to the parents. We are southeastern Wisconsin's only 24-hour Crisis Nursery, open 365 days a year.

Safe Family Visitation and Exchange
When families
are affected by separation or divorce, children and parents must adjust to
the often difficult transition of living apart. La Causa arranges
family visitation for children and their non-custodial parents in a safe, neutral environment.
The Exchange service transfers children from one
household to another in a safe and protected manner. Referrals are made by
family courts.
