Support gathers for behavioral health center in Madison, backed by Packers legends
Tellurian Behavioral Health's Jake's Place Opens in Madison, Wisconsin
Tellurian Behavioral Health has expanded its mental health services in Wisconsin with the opening of Jake's Place, a new facility located in downtown Madison. The facility, named after Fairway Mortgage founder Steve Jacobson's son, Darryll E. Jacobson, who struggled with addiction, is aimed at providing expanded services for individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges.
Steven Lee Jacobson, CEO of Tellurian Behavioral Health, is leading the expansion effort. The facility, situated at 702 West Main Street, will offer a range of services including housing support, case management, medical doctors, and psychiatric services, in addition to its existing offerings.
The community gathered recently to share personal reflections on mental health and addiction battles. Former Green Bay Packers quarterbacks Brett Favre and Don Majkowski, both of whom have shown strong support for the facility, shared their personal struggles with addiction and recovery. Favre emphasised the importance of breaking down stigma and encouraging people to seek help, comparing the importance of addressing mental health and addiction issues to addressing concussions in the NFL.
The new facility is privately funded by Steve Jacobson and is set to open in the fall. Despite the facility being fully funded, Tellurian is still raising funds to support ongoing programs and expand services at the new facility. Confidential support for those in need of help is available by calling or texting 988.
The strategic location of the facility downtown makes it easily accessible by bus and near a hospital. Mental illness can affect anyone, and addiction can occur anywhere, according to Favre. He and Majkowski's sharing of their personal struggles is aimed at reducing stigma and encouraging others to seek support.
For more detailed information about the types of services offered or current fundraising campaigns specifically for Jake's Place, it is recommended to check Tellurian Behavioral Health’s official website or contact the facility directly. The new facility's work in addressing mental health and addiction issues is described as amazing by Favre, and it is expected to make a significant impact in the community.
