GRAND TRAVERSE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND ACCESS CENTER

Munson Healthcare and the Northern Lakes Community Mental Health Authority are opening Grand Traverse Mental Health Crisis and Access Center at 410 Brook Street in Traverse City. The new facility will provide much-needed outpatient and residential mental health crisis services to patients of any age, regardless of their ability to pay. The Center is located on the Munson Medical Center campus within an existing 22,000 square-foot behavioral health building that has been under renovation since February 2024. The Center is set to officially open its doors to patients on January 5, 2025. Master’s and Bachelor’s level mental health professionals will work under a shared staffing model between Munson Healthcare and Northern Michigan Community Mental Health Authority. 

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is making drugs more deadly. The Ad Council created the "Drop the F*Bomb" campaign to educate parents about fentanyl and encourage them to be explicit with their kids about the unique risk fentanyl poses.  This website offers tips and resources for talking about fentanyl with your kids.

"This is not a 'Just Say No' conversation. This is 'Just Say Know.' Most kids aren’t seeking fentanyl, they get it by accident. Just knowing that it is hidden in fake pills and other drugs empowers them and helps them stay safe. And it opens the door to conversations about healthier ways to deal with stress.

   -Ed Ternan, bereaved dad and president of "Song for Charlie"
