The Teresa McGovern Center at Tellurian Behavioral Health in Monona contains the 16-bed Dane County Care Center, one of Wisconsin's five regional crisis stabilization centers.
In a room with couches, board games and self-help books, eight adults going through mental health crises talk about people they can confide in and those who have betrayed them.
Most people who come to Tellurian's Dane County Care Center are struggling with depression, anxiety, psychosis or thoughts of harming themselves or others, said Meghan Smits, program supervisor. She's in a room where group sessions are held.
Joanie Sommers, a behavioral health technician at Tellurian, shows the activity area outside of the Dane County Care Center, which offers breaks from counseling sessions.
