About NAMI Washington Co

Using a variety of methods, NAMI Washington County provides mental health education, support, advocacy and awareness. Led by trained peers and volunteers, programs are designed to strengthen recovery, build resiliency, and support overall well-being, so individuals with mental illness and those caring for them can live their best lives. The Welcome Center is one of eleven peer recovery centers in the State of Wisconsin. The center is a resource for community-based peer support. The peer support program framework encourages input from people who are living with a wide range of mental illnesses; provides a chance to support those with mental illness with compassion, new ideas, and empathy. It also allows individuals with mental illness to learn from those with like-experiences about new strategies for illness management, and other community resources that an individual may not have accessed to help them in their recovery.
