This season, take a moment to check in with yourself, set boundaries when needed, and remember it’s okay to take a breather. Your well-being matters. 💙

If you're in need of support this holiday, we've created a holiday mental health toolkit to help you navigate stress, SAD and social pressure. https://mwihealth.org/your-holiday-mental-health-toolkit/

Our Story

OUR VISION: Expand mental health services Be responsive to opportunities Build partnerships Improve psychiatric services in under-served areas

We bring expert psychiatric care to the underserved through a network of providers and telehealth. Widely respected as the regional leaders in mental health services, our qualified professionals provide care in economically and geographically underserved populations. We specialize in contracting with correctional facilities, hospitals and clinics in the region. By providing in-house support and telehealth services, we care for individuals who might otherwise go untreated. We are able to provide contracted psychiatric services to an expansive region because of our network of trusted mental health providers in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. We may be able to extend support to other states upon request, so contact us today if your facility or organization has unmet mental health needs.
