The Detroit COVID-19 Therapy Collaborative led by CMF members The Ethel and James Flinn Foundation, The Skillman Foundation, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and Michigan Health Endowment Fund, and the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN), has launched.
This telehealth platform provides access to a safe and private network of behavioral health resources and therapy by trained counselors for children and families ages 14 years and older.
Participants struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, hopelessness and substance use disorders can receive up to 12 free therapy sessions by phone, tablet or computer.
“We’ve never experienced this before, we’re facing so much uncertainty, and we shouldn’t have to do it alone,” Andrea Cole, executive director and CEO of the Ethel and James Flinn Foundation said. “This is a trying time for all of us, but especially for young people who may already be struggling with mental health issues.”
The CMF members leading this effort and DWIHN believe that whole-child care and development is vital to ensure a bright future and recognize that the missed milestones and events this spring can negatively impact children’s mental health. The organizations’ primary focus is to instill hope while focusing on identifying strengths and resiliency in individuals who are often overlooked and underrepresented.
