Join us for an event focused on mental health

HealthNet of Rock County, Inc. is a free medical, dental, and vision clinic providing services to low-income, uninsured Rock County residents since 1994. In response to our region’s mental health crisis, we are hosting our second annual conference that provides education and resources to health care providers, care givers, and stakeholders. On September 28th, 2017, HealthNet is hosting the 2nd Annual Southern Wisconsin Conference on Mental Health.

Currently, Rock County has some of the highest rates of depression, suicide, and overdose death, but has the lowest rates of mental health access. As we are seeing these problems persist in our patients, we want to bring together the community to provide awareness of these problems and find solutions.
