Last week, NAMI Wisconsin was invited to attend a bill signing at Governor Evers' office for Act 75, which established a new mental health facility in the Chippewa Valley region.
The new facility will include a crisis stabilization unit, residential treatment center, partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program, and supportive living for adolescents and adults.
NAMI Wisconsin advocated for an amendment to the bill to require that the facility accept Medicaid and accept patients who are involuntary, which were both included in the final version of the bill.
Thank you to Governor Evers and the legislature for passing this bill and making essential mental health services more accessible to Wisconsinites!
