Family Crisis Center of Washtenaw is excited to announce 2023 "Have an ear to hear and the heart to action" campaign. In an effort to reach families with mental health wellness information and education within in their own neighborhood and community. We will offer communities the opportunity to sponsor a bench where they will see a QR that can be scanned to be connected to mental health wellness resources and information within their county. The QR scan will  direct them to the link where the information is available. Family Crisis Center of Washtenaw will keep information current for the community.

Family Crisis Center of Washtenaw has been in a team effort for years with RUOK and look forward to taking their mission a step forward in 2023.
