About Wellpoint Care Network

Conveniently located on West Capitol Drive near Interstate 41 in Milwaukee, this nonprofit outpatient clinic supports children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. The community-based center treats depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, self-harm, and identity concerns. Offering both in-person and virtual appointments, Wellpoint Care Network gives the wider community easier access to support. This center offers flexible hours, clinical assessments, and consultation services that address a wide range of needs, including life transitions such as divorce or loss, challenges within the school setting, and stressors faced by LGBTQ+ youth and adults seeking affirming care.
Therapists ground work in trauma-informed practices, offering trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, art therapy, occupational therapy, family counseling, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. The Wellpoint Care Network has been at the forefront of the Trauma Informed Care movement, developing its own framework known as the Seven Essential Ingredients. This model guides all services by recognizing the prevalence and impact of trauma, adopting a perspective that asks what has happened rather than what is wrong, and prioritizing regulation, relationships, and connection to family, community, and culture. Individual, family, and group services use evidence-based and expressive methods that build coping skills, regulate emotions, and strengthen relationships.
Beyond outpatient care, Wellpoint Care Network also partners with schools to provide on-site mental health services, allowing students to meet with therapists during the school day. Additional programs support youth transitioning from foster care with guidance in education, employment, housing, and health, focusing on stability and long-term growth

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 Wellpoint Care Network provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
