Rogers partners with Children's Hospital for comprehensive mental health programs

The City of Victoria Planning Commission meeting on January 21, 2025, highlighted significant developments in mental health services available to the community. A key focus was a presentation on a new facility that will offer a range of specialized programs aimed at addressing various mental health challenges.

The facility will provide nine distinct areas of support, including programs for anxiety and depression, as well as specialized care for adolescents with emotional regulation issues. This partial hospitalization program, developed in partnership with Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, aims to cater to children and adolescents facing both mental health and complex medical needs.

Other services discussed include a mental health and substance use recovery program, which encompasses residential, partial, and intensive outpatient programming. Additionally, the facility will offer treatment for eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and trauma recovery, specifically targeting veterans and first responders.

While the facility will not provide alcohol or drug treatment, it will assess individuals for learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders during the screening process. This ensures that those who can benefit from the treatment are appropriately supported.

The discussions underscored the facility's commitment to addressing a wide range of mental health issues, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of mental health services in the community. As the planning process continues, stakeholders are optimistic about the positive impact these programs will have on residents' well-being.
