WISE debuts redesigned website

When the new website for Wise Initiative for Stigma Elimination (WISE) went live late last year, it marked the culmination of years of work and an abundance of content.

Additionally, we previously had four different websites, so our goal was to bring all of them together under one newly branded website.”

The new look extends beyond just the website design; it also includes a new logo for WISE’s largest resource, Compassion Resilience Toolkits for schools, health and human services, and parents and caregivers.

Another change visitors are likely to notice? Even more resources and an improved ability to see and register for upcoming events, including this year’s coalition meetings that focus on substance use and mental health.

“The biggest change is additional content. We’ve added more video stories of recovery, more stigma reduction resources, and revamped the blog section with new blogs being posted regularly. From the home page, upcoming events are clearly posted so people can register and it’s also easy to sign up for the WISE newsletter,” Alison says.
