🗣 CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE! Suicidal ideation is REAL. I’m not speaking as a mental health advocate right now, I’m speaking as a person who attempted suicide in 2018. 🥹

“A woman was saved Saturday afternoon after climbing onto the I-96 overpass and moving toward the middle of the freeway.

A Detroit police Sgt. quickly reached her and grabbed her through the fence. Officers kept talking with her until Detroit Fire Department crews arrived with a ladder truck. Firefighters were then able to bring her down safely. The woman was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.

If you or a loved one is in distress, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, or text 741-741. Support is free, confidential, and available 24/7 for civilians and veterans. Locally, you can also call the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) Helpline at 800-241-4949. (They come to you.)”

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.

“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.”
