The State of Mental Health in Wisconsin
Wisconsin currently ranks 13th in the United States for mental healthcare. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) oversees the improvements being made upon their current mental healthcare system, and they are responsible for providing the resources and quality care necessary to build resilience in their communities. The DHS determines the standard of care that all Wisconsin residents can expect when they seek treatment from a licensed counselor or therapist. Their website, found at the link above, is focused on educating residents on their right to quality mental healthcare, and promoting prevention and early intervention.
Currently, the DHS is working on establishing a strong integrative care model, with the support of community-based agencies and organizations. The DHS is improving accessibility in all phases of mental illness - from prevention, to treatment and recovery - and ensures that all residents have access to the resources that promote their well-being and ability to prosper. This includes access to therapists, psychologists, and counselors throughout the state.
