Welcome to the Mental Health Wellness Canopy, where our community can gather education, information, and resources to accommodate their journey to mental health wellness.
Family Crisis Center of Washtenaw is sponsoring the “Canopy” to participate at community events we are invited to within the Washtenaw County area. We will set up a 10x10 foot canopy or a table (dependent on the space available at the event). We will provide educational materials to the community and build relationships for further resources within the community.
Washtenaw Alive Coalition participants are encouraged to provide information and resources that will assist the community with suicide prevention, mental health wellness.
Many other organizations have planned community events, festivals, concerts and welcome the public to enjoy what they have to offer. Family Crisis Center of Washtenaw is willing to set up our canopy at each event we are invited to and share mental health information and resources with the community.
If you have further questions or would like to participate call Kathy or Edwina at Family Crisis Center of Washtenaw at 734-660-7059. Send us an email karnold@familycrisiscenterwashtenaw.org or familycrisiscenterwashtenawej@gmail.com. Or, visit our website at familycrisiscenterwashtenaw.org
We are located at 2385 S. Huron Pkwy. Ste. 2N, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
If you are interested in supporting the "Canopy" through your donations please send donations to Family Crisis Center of Washtenaw 2385 S. Huron Pkwy., Ste. 2N, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. Thus far, we have a donated vehicle, tables, portable sound system, and canopy. We would like to offer giveaways with the information we are sharing with the community.

FREE FAMILY ACCEPTANCE PROJECT TRAINING ON HELPING DIVERSE FAMILIES TO SUPPORT THEIR LGBT CHILDREN
The Family Acceptance Project (FAP) is providing a free full-day training on April 25 in Detroit, MI for health, mental health, social service and school-based providers, families and religious leaders on FAP’s research-based family support approach for helping diverse families learn to support their LGBT children. A critical aspect of FAP's prevention and intervention approach is suicide prevention.
The training will include: learning about FAP’s foundational approaches to decrease family rejection and increase family support, including how to apply FAP’s key research findings and using FAP’s multicultural family education resources with diverse families; strategies for helping ethnically, racially and religiously diverse families to support their LGBT children; and helping providers and others to apply research-based FAP’s family support approach in diverse practice settings.
The training is free and offers 5 CEUs. For information on registering for the training contact: fap@sfsu.edu
