48% of parents say that most days their stress is completely overwhelming, compared to 26% among other adults. Parents and caregivers deserve government, workplace, and community programs that will support their needs.

Only a third of U.S. babies — and barely a quarter of those in low-income households — are read to every day. This National Nonprofit Day, a gift of any size to Reach Out and Read helps our clinicians put more books in the hands of more families, giving them the tools they need for a brighter future for all children: Give today! 📚❤️ https://lnkd.in/gAxU7S39

We are very thankful to have partnered with Catalpa Health to provide these books for their lobby and grateful for all they do in our community.
This summer, Reach Out and Read Wisconsin donated over 40 teen and young adult books collected at a book drive hosted by Appleton North High School students. These books are available to clients and families in our lobby, giving them something to look forward to and enjoy while waiting for their appointment. One of our team members shared this about families having access to books: "I love seeing the excitement of kids and parents when we tell them they can pick out a book, especially because it is unexpected. Books are so fantastic because the kids and parents will sit and read them in the lobby while they are waiting – double bonus with them reading, the lobby is more calm!" We are so grateful for community partners like Reach Out and Read Wisconsin who help us provide access to comprehensive care outside of our standard mental health services!

Do we need another excuse to celebrate books and shared reading? No. Will we take one? Of course. 🥳 On this #NationalBooksLoversDay, register for our Books Build Better Brains Benefit (Sept. 26 at the Building for Kids Museum in Appleton) and help us raise funds to create moments that matter for families and children. The Reach Out and Read program allows clinicians to talk with caregivers about the transformative power of shared reading to build bonds, improve language and listening skills, and create lifelong learners.
