Caregiver Resources
Caregiving responsibilities have a unique impact on UWO community members and their families. While UWO cannot provide ready-made solutions to child care and other care giving issues individuals are encountering, this one-stop point of access to existing resources is intended to provide potential solutions to the challenges of caregiving while working and pursuing an education.
Parent Resources
Adding a child to your family (due to birth, adoption, legal guardianship, etc.) may create an event in which you can enroll your child in your current benefits plans. More information about the eligible events may be found at the following links:
If you are looking for additional resources and information please contact UW Oshkosh’s Title IX Coordinator.
Childcare Information
Choosing child care is one of the most important decisions families make. Here is a resource that may be helpful to families as they look for new care: Child Care Resource and Referral for Families.
In addition, the university’s Employee Assistance Program offers the following:
WorkLife Consultation and Referral Services –WorkLife Services assists parents with childcare needs. Employees should contact (833) 539-7285 to speak with a consultant. A WorkLife consultant can help identify the resources that best meet your needs and match your criteria.
