About Wisconsin Milkweed Alliance Recovery Coaching
Wisconsin Milkweed Alliance (WIMA), based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, is a peer-run nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals facing mental health challenges, substance use issues, and other life-interrupting experiences. Founded in 2018, WIMA is entirely managed and operated by individuals with lived experience, ensuring that empathy and understanding are at the core of their services.
WIMA offers several key programs to assist individuals on their recovery journeys. The Monarch House Peer Run Respite provides a free, short-term, voluntary stay in a home-like environment for those experiencing mental health or substance use challenges, offering 24/7 peer support for up to seven nights. The WIMA Warmline is a confidential, non-emergency phone line operated by peers, available 24/7 to offer connection and nonjudgmental support. Additionally, the Kaleidoscope Center serves as a vibrant drop-in space where individuals can connect, share experiences, and participate in various activities aimed at promoting wellness and recovery.
What sets WIMA apart is its unwavering commitment to a peer-run model, ensuring that all staff, volunteers, and board members have personal experience with the challenges they aim to address. This structure fosters a unique environment of mutual respect and empowerment, allowing individuals to choose their own paths to healing and wholeness. By harnessing the power of peer support, WIMA creates a community where individuals uplift and empower one another, promoting holistic and lasting health.
