CALENDAR By Eric Oliver Enterprise Staff OCONOMOWOC — Two women are taking another step to help Oconomowoc's veterans. Jill Gust, American Legion Unit 91 treasurer and historian, and Jane Schmittinger, a member of the American Legion Auxil- iary District 1 finance com- mittee, are retur ning to host the second annual Walk, Run and Roll. The 5K and two-mile fun walk will take place at 8 a.m. May 21 around Fowler Lake, start- ing at the Village Green. Both events welcome wheelchair competitors and strollers. Skates and rollerblades are not allowed. The event is serving as a way to connect the commu- nity to the Auxiliary and American Legion family, the event will also benefit the Fisher House of Wis- consin, a temporary hous- ing facility for families of veterans receiving care at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwau- kee. Schmittinger said the facility is already being built. The funds they raise this time will go towards the necessary furnishings inside. To register go to w w w. w a l k - r u n - r o l l o - conomowoc.eventbrite.com. Sponsorships are welcome and for a minimum of $50 local businesses, organiza- tions and individuals can get their logo or name printed on the race T-shirt. "The people who printed our shirts (last year) said they've never seen so many sponsors on a shirt before," Schmittinger said. "We want to make sure even if a person just gave $50, we want that person's name on there." Early-bird registration for the event ends on April 6. Schmittinger said last year, she and Gust were the ones who spearheaded the event. She said although it is a lot of work, it's some- thing they enjoy doing. Schmittinger did give Gust "kudos" because she is the one who does most of the work. Last year in addition to the main events, the run also featured an info fair with tables sharing infor- mation about a handful of organizations. The fair is returning this year, and the duo are looking for various clinics and health-related organizations who are look- ing to raise awareness of what they do in the commu- nity. After seeing how last year's race went, Schmit- tinger is excited for this year's. "We're hoping to exceed the $2,600 we raised last year and to have more run- ners," Schmittinger said. The event itself and the legion are both good for vet- erans, she said. "Our veterans out there really need our help and support," Schmittinger said. "That's what we're looking to do. That is what is driving us to do this for a second year now." For more information, go to the Eventbrite website or call Jill Gust at 262-719-7280 or Jane Schmittinger at 414- 379-1995. Email: eoliver@conleynet.com OCONOMOWOC — Teens struggling with severe depression and other mood disorders have a new treat- ment option. Rogers Behavioral Health opened the FOCUS Adoles- cent Mood Disorders Pro- gram, its eighth residential program, March 1. The ser- vice for adolescents 13 to 17 is an extension of the FOCUS mood disorder pro- gramming in place since 2014. It'll serve patients with mood disorders including depression, bipolar disorder and disruptive mood regula- tion disorder. It'll also include co-occurring disor- ders, such as anxiety disor- ders, substance use or non- suicidal self-harm. Treatment includes evi- dence-based behavioral acti- vation, which helps patients break challenging tasks into manageable goals; cognitive behavioral therapy focused on behavior, thoughts and emotions; and exposure to dialectical behavioral thera- py with informed skills such as mindfulness. Family involvement, including a "Parent Univer- sity," further supports the programming. Rogers initially opened the FOCUS residential cen- ter for young adults 18 to 30. It recently expanded to include a track for those 30 and older. Based on that the hospital saw the need, and potential, for extending the FOCUS treatment philosophy of intensive, highly structured programming to teens, according to a release. "There is an evident need for adolescent residential services, and Rogers Behav- ioral Health has a strong record with such care with our original Adolescent Cen- ter," say Suzanne Harrison, vice president for operations for Rogers Memorial Hospi- tal. "Here in Wisconsin and nationally, we saw a popula- tion of young people that weren't able to find the appropriate treatment to lower their intense symp- toms. We created the FOCUS adolescent program to better accommodate this group." Screenings for potential admission to the FOCUS adolescent program are available by calling 800-767- 4411 or going online at www.rogershospital.org. — Enterprise Staff Rogers Behavioral Health adds teen residential program for mood disorders File art Participants of all ages head out on the course for the 2015 Walk, Run and Roll event.

This year's walk will be held April 30 at Fowler Park. The walk begins at 10 a.m. with check-in starting at 9 a.m. Volunteers are needed throughout the morning and early afternoon for a variety of support roles including setup, registration and check-in, medical assistance and first aid, parking guides and cheering walkers across the finish line. Anyone interested can visit walkMSwisconsin.org or call 262-369-4436. More than 260 walkers are expected to participate with the goal of raising $25,000 locally. It will be one of 20 MS walks throughout Wisconsin in 2016, aimed at raising $1.5 million in the state. The funds support critical services and accelerate research breakthroughs.
