Additional Grants Awarded to Help Reduce Disparities in Behavioral Health Care System

" Equity and inclusion trainings to be offered to service providers"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) today announced four organizations have received funding to help providers better serve communities that continue to experience barriers to accessing behavioral health care. Each organization has received $85,762 in one-time grants as part of an ongoing effort by DHS to improve health equity and access.

"With these grants, we are working towards improved health outcomes. We need to meet people where they are with respect, dignity, and understanding of cultural differences to meaningfully address the gaps in services," said DHS Secretary-designee Kirsten Johnson. "We know when people have access to a system that respects the whole person and addresses an individual's needs, beliefs, and preferences, they are empowered to create healthier outcomes for themselves and their communities."
