How we promote mental health

Psychotherapy (talk therapy)

We conduct well over 1,000 psychotherapy appointments a month through face-to face interaction or by using telehealth services. These sessions help identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, while allowing our clients to develop problem-solving skills, build confidence, and become more self-aware.

The Healing Arts

Psychotherapy (talk therapy)

When people partake in artistic activities, it has a positive impact on their own mental health. These events bring various artists, mental health experts and the community together, creating a powerful synergy between everyone, while breaking down false stigmas about mental health in a judgement free space. We conduct these events for individuals, families, kids and organizations.

Group Classes

Psychotherapy (talk therapy)

Community Engagement

Group classes provide a supportive environment for individuals to connect with others who may be going through similar experiences, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Additionally, group classes can provide a structured routine and accountability, which can help individuals stay motivated and committed to improving their mental health. The social interaction and positive feedback from peers and instructors can also increase feelings of self-esteem and confidence, which are important aspects of mental health.

Community Engagement

Partnerships with other health care providers

Community Engagement

We love hosting events for our community. We put on events for Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other various occasions. These events provide a safe and inclusive environment for individuals to come together and celebrate, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Additionally, participating in these events can provide a break from daily routines and stressors, allowing individuals to focus on enjoying the moment and connecting with others.

Our partnerships with other organizations

Partnerships with other health care providers

Partnering with schools and other organizations allow us to expand our reach and impact to a broader audience. Some of our partnerships include Freeland school district, Saginaw ISD, Restoration Community Outreach, Saginaw County Juvenile Center, Adoption Partners of Michigan and many more.

Partnerships with other health care providers

Partnering with other healthcare providers can ensure that individuals receive coordinated, comprehensive care that addresses both physical and mental health needs.

Learning Center

Wellness Coordination

Learning Center

We are proud to serve as a hub for Bachelor and Master level interns who have a focus in Social Work, Psychology, and Counseling. As an agency committed to promoting mental health and well-being, we recognize the importance of supporting and nurturing the next generation of mental health professionals.

Our internship program offers a unique opportunity for students to gain practical experience in a supportive and collaborative environment, working alongside experienced professionals to provide evidence-based mental health services to individuals and families. We believe that investing in the education and training of future mental health professionals is critical to building a stronger, healthier community.

We are grateful for the contributions of our interns and are committed to providing them with a rich and rewarding learning experience that will prepare them for successful careers in mental health.

Food Pantry

Wellness Coordination

Learning Center

Having a food pantry for our clients, plays a critical role in supporting them. Food insecurity can have a significant impact on mental health, leading to stress, anxiety, and depression. Providing access to healthy, nutritious food can help alleviate these stressors, improving overall physical and mental well-being.

Our food pantry can also reduce the financial burden of purchasing food, allowing individuals to allocate their resources to other important areas such as housing, education, and healthcare. Our food pantry is an important tool for supporting the mental health and well-being of individuals and families in need.

Wellness Coordination

Our clients have access to a wellness coordinator. Wellness coordinators works with individuals to identify their unique needs/goals and develop a personalized plan to address those needs. By coordinating care and services across multiple providers and systems, our wellness coordinators can help individuals access the support they need to improve their physical and mental health, reduce stress and improve their overall quality of life.

Our wellness coordinators help our clients navigate complex systems and overcome barriers to care. Working with them can also promote self-management skills, empowering individuals to take an active role in their own care and navigate their healthcare and social systems with greater ease and confidence.
