IHEP Applauds New Mental Health Resource
July 14, 2024
The Interfaith Health Equity Partnership is a group of caring and compassionate health professionals, community leaders and faith leaders who seek to improve the health status of those they serve. The focus is on health equity or on addressing those conditions that influence health and wellness. Partnerships and collaboration are essential to effectively have a positive impact of the dimensions of health and wellness which include spiritual, social, mental educational, physical, environmental and economic factors.
At its most recent meeting in July, the partnership learned of a valuable innovative and new resource in the southeastern Michigan community. We are pleased to share this information that was presented by Ms. LaFerra Hemphill of the new Crisis Care Center located at 707 Milwaukee in Detroit.
The following outlines the services of this new resource. We urge everyone to share this information.
• Provide mental health and substance use crisis stabilization services for adults (ages 18+) and children (ages 5-17)
• Services available for all individuals regardless of insurance coverage
• Accepts persons with hospital referrals, first responder drop off of persons, self-referrals, and walk ins
• 24/7 peer support services
• Linkage to community resources
• Follow-up with individuals after crisis stabilization care
• Opened– June 2024
• Main phone number is 313-989-9444
This new resource addresses a great need in our community. According to the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI), 1 in 6 youth between 6-17 in America experience a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. Also 1 in 20 adults experience a mental health illness each year. In Michigan that is over 1.4 million adults in Michigan.
