The HHS Communications team had the opportunity to interview Meg Kissinger - journalist, author, cold plunger and mental health advocate, for our upcoming mental health video series. She openly shared personal family stories of mental health journeys and stigma-fighting advocacy.

Meg welcomed us into her home, made coffee, and spoke with us candidly. Our hope is that hearing people share their mental health journeys will matter deeply to many families. We’re incredibly thankful for her time and honesty, and we can’t wait to share her insightful words with our community. The mental health video series will be released in May 2026 and will feature local people and families sharing their stories.

To learn more about Meg, check out her Substack articles (link in comments). She also kindly gave us a copy of her book - While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence.

And of course, we couldn’t do this without our friends at 3barn. Thanks, Kev!

We’re still feeling grateful (and a little proud!) after Waukesha County's first-ever Coldest Night of the Year Walk; what an amazing community showing.

Because of everyone who walked, joined a team, donated, or helped spread the word, the Housing Action Coalition raised nearly $15,000 to support shelter operations in Waukesha County. And a HUGE shout out to our HHS teams (plus Corporation Counsel) for raising over $5,500 of the total!

The event set goals of raising $5,000, having 10 teams, and 100 walkers… and finished with $15,000 raised, 19 teams, and 167 walkers. Wow.

Thank you again for showing up for our neighbors and for Waukesha County.
