Mental Health Resources
Virtual Support Groups
To help Michiganders through the mental health challenges of COVID-19, behavioral health professionals at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services created the Stay Well Crisis Counseling Program, funded by a federal grant. Through this program, virtual support groups are being offered for the following populations:
1. Be Kind To Your Mind - A support group for everyone
2. People Who Are Grieving
3. Michigan Teens (14-17 years old)
4. Older Adults in Michigan
5. Healthcare Workers and First Responders
6. Michigan Families (Parents)
7. Michigan Educators
You can find more information pertaining to these virtual support groups here.

FREE wellness practices from Down Dog!
In response to rising cases and school closures taking place, we have made all of our apps completely free until January 1st, 2022 for all students and teachers (K-12 and college) so that they can have access to wellness at home through the end of the semester.
If you have a .edu email address, you will automatically get free access to our apps when you sign up. Otherwise, if you are a student or teacher who would like free access to our apps, please fill out the short form here to add your email domain to our list of school emails.
Once you submit your form, we promise to get you access within 48 hours! And after your school domain has been added to our list, anyone from your school will be able to easily sign up!
