The National Alliance of Mental Illness Manitowoc County is leading an effort to improve access to mental health services.
NAMI Manitowoc County has been making progress in the area of diversion.
They trained 20 Crisis Intervention Team officers and a police chaplain in May 2023, with another CIT class being scheduled in January.
NAMI Manitowoc County believes that there is a serious lack of mental health services in Manitowoc County, and that we as a community have been called to innovate.
They accept that it is a tough problem, but it is not insurmountable and call on every community partner to lead with open-mindedness, creativity, and expansive ideas.
