Be the Rock

Why Support WellStone?

Because you care. You care about the one in five individuals who experience mental illness and substance use disorders (SUD). You care about their families. You care about local law enforcement personnel whose jails are overcrowded. You care about hospital Emergency Department workers who are already overwhelmed. And you care about completing the continuum of mental healthcare for adults in Madison County.

Because you care, we ask that you consider supporting the new crisis center for WellStone Emergency Services (WES). Please "Be the Rock" for someone in need and help us build a foundation of compassion, connection and community for those in mental health and substance use crisis.

Your gift, at any level, will strengthen our mission. Together, we can connect North Alabama children, adolescents and adults to health and well-being.

Why Support WellStone?

Why Support WES?

“Law enforcement has struggled for years to best serve those in mental health crisis. Thanks to WellStone, our first responders have the resources they need to care for those in crisis. There is finally an option other than the emergency room or jail for these situations."

- Deputy Chief DeWayne McCarver, Huntsville Police Department

Thank You!

	Approximately 35% of Madison County jail inmates live with a mental illness.
	More than 8,000 people are taken to our local Emergency Departments every year with mental health crises.
	WES ensures that those in crisis receive the mental healthcare they need with the dignity they deserve. This also alleviates the burden of local law enforcement and emergency department personnel.
