Wisconsin NAMI

Mental Health · Wisconsin · Free

National Alliance on Mental Illness Wisconsin affiliate. Education, support, advocacy. A first stop for families noticing a senior is withdrawing socially, neglecting hygiene, or expressing hopelessness. Peer support groups are often free and meet weekly — caregivers and grievers say these matter as much as one-on-one therapy. Depression in seniors often shows up as physical complaints, appetite changes, sleep problems, or memory issues — not sadness. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
