SB 597 & 598: The Wrong Step At The Wrong Time - Dangerous, Costly & Bad for Michigan
We MUST broaden the conversation beyond Medicaid. Mental illness and addiction impact millions of individuals and families across the state of Michigan regardless of their insurance.
Solutions MUST be BROAD BASED, get at the root cause and address the areas of greatest need – increasing overall access to care, adding providers and strengthening the workforce, and increasing inpatient care.
Don’t be fooled: SBs 597 & 598 are a shell game, just shifting who pays the bills for a small fraction of people in the Medicaid program.
Who We Are
COVID-19 and Mental Health
Increased stress and anxiety related to the current COVID-19 outbreak is normal and expected. It is important that you take care of your mental health during this time. Simple things like taking a walk, deep breathing, and taking an occasional time out from the news and media are good ways to give yourself a break and relax. There is plenty of information out there about ways to cope with stress including this article from the CDC.
Taking care of your mental health needs is very important during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people are feeling anxious, scared, stressed out, and angry. Kids might feel confused and disoriented due to changes in their routine. Parents are feeling overwhelmed. Social distancing can cause people to feel lonely and disconnected. There are many resources available in Ottawa County to help individuals and families get through these tough times. Most of these services are available through telehealth or online. Telehealth means services, such as counseling or case management, are provided by phone, email, or virtual meetings instead of face to face.
Individuals who feel they are in a mental health crisis and need help immediately are encouraged to call Community Mental Health of Ottawa County’s 24-hour Crisis Line at 866-512-4357 or TTY 711.
Other emergency contacts include:
