If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 586-307-9100, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you want guidance and help for yourself or someone you care about, a phone call during business hours is a great way to start. During our first conversation, we can provide guidance and information that will simplify your first visit. When you call our customer service line at 855-99-MCCMH (855-996-2264), have your insurance information ready, if you don’t have insurance don’t worry, it’s not required. Please prepare to spend some time with us, as these initial conversations can take up to a half hour to complete.

Beginning Saturday, July 16, anyone seeking suicide or mental health-related crisis support for themselves or someone they know, can connect with a trained counselor by calling, or texting, 988. This shorter phone number helps simplify access to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline crisis response system.
