    Two valuable resources in the community which serve persons challenged with neurological brain disorders (aka mental illness, but I hesitate to use the term which further stigmatizes those suffering) include:

    Our Space, Inc

    The Grand Avenue Club

    Both provide peer support for those accessing the services, which historically helps those affected.

    Your list should include Shorehaven Behavioral Health, 414-540-2170, the largest provider of psychotherapy to the residents of the north side who have Badgercare/Medicaid insurance, and the clinic can get people services with a minimal wait time. You should also include Sebastian Family Psychological Practice, 414-247-0801, another larger clinic serving the north side.
