"Hi everyone, Governor Tony Evers here.

The holidays can be a difficult time for many and Wisconsinites across our state and country have had a stressful year personally, financially, emotionally.

It’s important to remember that no matter what you are going through, you’re not alone and help is available.

The Department of Health Services has compiled resources for Wisconsinites to stay resilient through these tough times. From assistance with paying bills and putting food on the table, to mental health counseling, head to dhs.wisconsin.gov/resilient to find help.

You can also text HOPELINE to 741-741 for free emotional support services at any time from anywhere.

Our kids are no exception as well. Which is why the Office of Children’s Mental Health put together resources for parents and families to use over the holiday season to connect with kids, provide support, and help them get through these tough times at children.wi.gov. 

Let’s stay hopeful, let’s stay safe, and let’s get through these upcoming months together, Wisconsin. Thank you."
