Behavioral & Mental Health services
Individuals who are involved in the Behavioral & Mental Health Supports Coordination program receive case management services with a mental health supports coordinator at DHHS through Pine Rest. The supports coordinator, who is fluent with sign language and knows about deaf culture, will ensure that your individual rights and needs as a contributing member of the community are addressed.
Do you feel sad, unable to sleep, hopeless, thoughts of hurting yourself or others?
Do you use alcohol or other substances that affect your life or the lives of people you care about?
Do others advise you to seek mental help?
Do you need a supports coordinator or someone to assist you with sign language for communication?
Does your ability/inability to communicate stop you from getting help for physical or mental problems?
If you are going through any of the above, please seek assistance through Network 180 at (616) 336-3909. Network 180 will contact DHHS to send you here once the paperwork is processed.
