Service Area: Wood County 

​

The Parent Engagement Centers (PECS) are operated in partnership with Wood County Child Support office via the Access & Visitation grant. We have locations in Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids. PECs provide a safe, fun and trauma-informed site for parents to engage with parenting support and classes as well as provide a comforting place for parents to visit their children. Both centers have many interactive activities to encourage play and engagement. 

The centers are reservation-only for Wood County and CW Solutions staff.

Marshfield PEC

The Marshfield PEC opened in September 2020, providing a new and unique place to provide parenting support and education.

​

Wisconsin Rapids PEC

The success of the Marshfield PEC allowed us to open a second center in Wisconsin Rapids in August 2021. The Rapids PEC space includes a full kitchen as well as club house for youth.
