(Dodge County) Residents in Dodge and Jefferson counties are being asked to help shape the future of mental health. The Dodge-Jefferson Healthier Community Partnership is inviting all residents to participate in an upcoming Community Health Assessment Gallery Walk.
The goal is to help identify community priorities that impact mental health in the region. Through May 19th, residents will have the opportunity to visit one of seven self-paced gallery walk displays throughout the two counties.
Each walk location will feature a series of posters that explain current mental health challenges, present data on factors that can influence mental health, and allow visitors to rank these factors. The displays will be hosted at:
· Waupun Public Library, 123 S Forest St. Waupun, WI 53963
· Beaver Dam Community Library, 311 N Spring St. Beaver Dam, WI 53916
· Ted & Grace Bachhuber Memorial Library, 234 N John St. Mayville, WI 53050
· Watertown Public Library, 100 S Water St. Watertown, WI 53094

· Dwight Foster Public Library, 209 Merchants Ave. Fort Atkinson, WI 53538
· Lake Mills Library, 120 E Madison St. Lake Mills, 53551
Each display will be available during the host site’s normal hours of operation and is completely self-guided.
