Governor's Interagency Council on Mental Health Seeks Public Input
Council is creating a statewide action plan to improve the mental health of Wisconsinites
Today, the Governor's Interagency Council on Mental Health is asking Wisconsinites to provide input on how the State of Wisconsin can continue working to improve the mental health of our residents. You can make recommendations using this survey which is open until June 30. The council connects the dots across 10 state agencies to create a statewide action plan to address Wisconsin's mental health crisis. The plan will include recommendations to expand prevention efforts and increase access to mental health services when and where people need them.
"We can't do this work alone," said Kirsten Johnson, Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary and chair of the council. "In order for our work to be successful, we need to hear directly from Wisconsinites impacted by the mental health crisis. Whether you live with a condition, support a loved one, work as a peer support specialist, or work in the mental health field - we want to hear from you."
