MISSION: Improve the mental health of the Menomonee Falls community
VISION: Mental health is the foundation for the well-being of the collective community.
Core Values:
- Inclusive
- Supportive
- Connected
- Compassionate
The mental health initiative brings together local service providers and community organizations to reduce mental health stigma and improve early interventions for people living with mental health conditions. The mental health team includes a coalition of educators, healthcare providers, and residents who are addressing barriers and areas of influence for supporting mental health in the Village.
The School District of Menomonee Falls received a Mental Health Grant and has opened clinics staffed by outside providers in the high school, middle school and two 3rd-5th grade elementary schools. In addition, all schools are increasing mental health training initiatives.
The full mental health team continues to communicate and look at existing systems to help improve ways to address mental health needs that are becoming more prevalent. To increase awareness and reduce stigma for mental health conditions across the community, the team promoted Mental Health Month in May by sharing green ribbons, informational fliers, and posters from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
In the past year, mental health services shifted to virtual offerings. NAMI is offering Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Training virtually. Visit the NAMI QPR Training page for more information. The FCAST organization continues their work to combat human trafficking.
