Women's Health and Recovery Project (WHARP)
Help for Women in Recovery
The Women’s Health and Recovery Project (WHARP) is for women with substance use disorders and complex needs.
A Navigator and a Peer Specialist work one-on-one with women to provide support, meet family needs, and overcome obstacles that would typically be a barrier to women in their recovery journey.
There is no cost to participate, and women do not need to be involved in any Waukesha County care or services.
