A network of Care with local mental health and substance abuse resources and links

​

The local site, developed by the Northeast Wisconsin Mental Health Connection and Connections for Mental Wellness in partnership with United Way Fox Cities and Brown County United Way’s 2-1-1, was funded by the Community Foundations of Greater Green Bay and the Fox Valley Region through the Basic Needs Giving Partnership, and the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program/Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment.
