PUBLICATION
The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of available resources and some practical advice for difficult situations and relationships for consumers and families in Wisconsin. Please keep in mind that each person’s experience is unique, so no one set of guidelines can apply to every situation. Nonetheless, we hope this guide provides some guidance in navigating complex issues. Most of all, we hope it provides a sense of hope. Recovery is possible and people who live with mental illness can not only survive — but thrive.
