Live. 🤍

Cheers to the warriors who continue to live and fight like hell through the depression, devastation, and destruction. Year by year. Month by month. Moment by moment.

DID YOU KNOW? I hid my mental health struggles for YEARS. Hiding my mental instability ultimately only did me and those around me a disservice.

In this sense, don’t be like me.

Help is available. Seek it. Please.

You are not alone. Never have been. Never will be. 🤍

THEGOODQUOTE 💌

Even the healer requires healing, the planner craves surprises, and the giver longs to receive. Likewise, the thoughtful yearn to be thought of, and the considerate seek consideration. We all have moments when we need what we freely give to others. Let’s remember to nurture ourselves, embrace unexpected joys, and graciously accept the kindness bestowed upon us. In a world where we often put others first, it’s essential to honor our own needs, too. ⁠
⁠
Who will you extend a gesture of kindness to today? Let’s spread love and reciprocity, nurturing each other’s spirits along the way.

🔔 We’re launching a new mental health crisis hotline: 844-IN-CRISIS (844-462-7474). This number connects you directly to a crisis specialist, ensuring swift assistance and dispatching a mobile crisis unit when needed.

We are expanding our Mobile Crisis services to better serve our community! Starting now, our Mobile Crisis Units will operate seven days a week from 7am to 11pm, providing crucial support for both adults and children in crisis. 🚐💨

📍 New Staging Location Alert: To respond even faster, we’ve established a new staging site in Westland, ensuring quicker response times for those in Western Wayne County.

For all other behavioral healthcare services, continue to use our 24/7 helpline at 800-241-4949.

There is hope. There is help. You are not alone.

As a mental health advocate it is my duty to be transparent during my times of distress as well.

This morning, because of severe mental instability, I almost did a walk-in to the 707 Crisis Care Center. I was unstable, unable and overwhelmed emotionally.

But God!

My Mommy literally talked me off the ledge. She exhorted me and spoke the very life she gave me, back into me. She gave me hope. She summoned her strength to support me through my fragile moment.

I was blessed with the very best! I thank God for my mother’s strength, love and support. We all paused this past Sunday to celebrate Mother’s Day but please never forget that a mother’s job is 365 days. Where they get no French benefits, vacation days or time off.

Mommy, with everything in me, thank you. 🤍

For anyone experiencing a mental health crisis, the 707 Crisis Care Center is here to assist. Located at:

707 W. Milwaukee Ave
Detroit, MI 48202-2943

There is hope. There is help. You are not alone.

“You can access our website, but if someone is in crisis, I’m not expecting you to research anything,” Doeh said. “I’m expecting you to show up here or call that 24-hour helpline at 1-800-241-4949. You will (get) absolutely free services, and you will not be saddled with some medical bill for doing so.”
