YWCA Madison and Journey Mental Health Center have formed a community-driven partnership to bring on-site mental health services to women and families living at YWCA Madison’s Downtown Residence.
“In meeting with some of the YWCA Madison residents and staff, it was abundantly clear that the residents were supporting each other as well as they could as friends and neighbors, but there is a deeper need for therapeutic work to be made more readily available,” Tyson Rittenmeyer, Journey’s director of clinic-based services, said in a statement.
Journey Mental Health Center launched voluntary, no-to-low-cost outpatient mental health services on the site on Nov. 1.
Clinicians now provide trauma-informed care directly to residents.
As resources remain limited into 2026, maintaining integrated services depends on collective investment. YWCA Madison and Journey Mental Health Center has asked funders, community partners and civic leaders to support its partnership.
