Since 1899, the organization has provided mental health support and advocacy to individuals and families across Northeast Wisconsin. The center addresses depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and relationship struggles through
outpatient counseling,
group therapy, and specialized programs. With a foundation built on protecting, healing, and caring, it has remained a steady presence in the community for more than 120 years.
The center offers individual, group, family, and couples therapy, all guided by trauma-informed care. Services include dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), substance use treatment, trauma-focused care, transgender-affirming therapy, and specialized support for survivors of sexual assault. Both in-person and virtual sessions are available, making treatment accessible and responsive to the needs of children, adolescents, and adults.
Alongside counseling, a Sexual Assault Center delivers 24/7 advocacy, medical and legal guidance, and peer groups for healing. The Women’s Recovery Journey program addresses addiction and mental health while involving families and offering childcare. Clinicians also extend expertise to athletes, helping them manage performance anxiety, boost confidence, and regulate emotions. Together, these services strengthen individuals, families, and communities through recovery.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin - Green Bay Office provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
