JAK’s Place

A mental health resource center providing structured and social resources to those affected by mental illness and to family members in need of support and information

JAK’s Place, located in Sturgeon Bay in Door County, is Lakeshore CAP’s unique local response to the shortage of mental health facilities and practitioners in rural Northeastern Wisconsin.  Known as a mental health drop-in center, JAK’s Place empowers adults with diagnosed mental illness by building support and providing the resources to move toward recovery.

The key to the success of this approach is to allow our clients to express their desires and become aware of their capabilities, resiliencies, talents, and coping abilities. Focusing on assets they already possess will help illustrate how to acquire the missing pieces. JAK’s Place offers activities Mon thru Thurs, 1 PM-5 PM, and Friday 10 AM-2 PM. Refer to the current calendar below for professionally-facilitated support groups, social activities, and structured programs.
