The Founding of Community Mental Health Programs
In the spring of 1961, Michigan reached an important turning point in mental health care. The Michigan Senate convened a special committee to examine the state of community mental health services. Their findings, supported by the Mental Health Society, led to identical bills introduced in both the House and Senate. By the end of 1963, 12 counties had stepped forward to launch some of the state’s first community mental health programs under this groundbreaking act.
It was during this period of change that MCCMH emerged as a beacon of hope for the community. With guidance from the MCCMH Board, we quickly built strong, lasting partnerships throughout the community that continue to support our mission and the people we serve today.
Our work centers on individuals with a wide range of needs, including people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, those living with mental illness, and individuals seeking support for substance use disorders.
Since our inception, we have grown significantly, expanding the services we offer to meet the evolving needs of Macomb County. From integrated healthcare to substance use treatment and recovery supports, MCCMH has become a lifeline for many. Today, we serve more than 18,000 community members through a broad network of services. With funding from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), local general funds, grants, and the ongoing support of Macomb County, we remain committed to ensuring that every person has access to compassionate, high‑quality mental health care.
