It's hard to remember everything when you're worried about your child.
The Crisis Compass Form helps you keep important information in one place, so you have it when you need it.

Some of the most important knowledge families gain comes from lived experience: knowing what helps, who to call, and what their child needs. This November, we honor family caregivers whose dedication and insight make all the difference.

It was so fun running into our friends from @DetroitWayneIHN while we were at the @nationalffcmh conference last month!
There's something extra special about running into familiar faces from back home, especially when you're miles away! 💙

There’s something pretty powerful about realizing that people actually want to hear what you have to say.
#GivingTuesday is December 1. Your support helps ACMH keep creating those opportunities.
What can we make possible together? 💙 Learn more here: acmh-mi.org/giving-tuesday/

You know what helps your child feel safe. You know what makes a hard day harder. You know the little things other people might miss.
The Crisis Compass Form gives you a place to write those things down.

At ACMH, we’ve seen how much can change when someone is given a genuine opportunity to have a voice in the work that affects them.
For #GivingTuesday we’re asking our community to help us raise unrestricted support for ACMH. We hope you’ll be part of it.

If a young person opens up about bullying, start by listening without judgment. Believe their experience, ask how you can help, and follow through. Prevention is a team effort and adults play a key role in making youth feel safe and supported.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
At ACMH, we recognize that people with disabilities belong in the workforce, and they belong in the conversations about what inclusive workplaces should look like.

Young people with ADHD often hear what they’re doing wrong. “Pay attention,” “try harder,” “sit still.” But what if we listened first?
This #ADHDAwarenessMonth, let’s look beyond behavior and understand their experience. True support starts with empathy. 💙 #ADHDAwareness

We’re looking forward to joining our friends at Michigan Alliance for Families for this important conversation about student mental health and school success. 💙

Today is World Mental Health Day. 🌎
We want a world where people feel understood, where lived experience is valued, and where no one has to wonder whether their voice matters. That is the kind of community we’re proud to help build.
