Mental Health Matters (WDIV)

There are several organizations in Southeast Michigan that can point you in the right direction to find help with mental health issues.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
