Even as we learn of the extended orders to stay at home in Michigan, today was a beautiful day in Albion, Michigan. Let’s all do our part to wear facemasks when out of the house, and to shelter in place and not gather in public.
We share an aerial view of Victory Park waterfall, Rieger Park, and downtown in the distance.
And some May 1, 2020 information from the Michigan.gov website:
Getting crisis mental health support is now as simple as sending a text to a new service…
By texting the keyword RESTORE to 741741, Michigan residents can have a confidential text conversation with a crisis counselor.
“LANSING, MICH. Getting crisis mental health support is now as simple as sending a text to a new service being launched today by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) as part of its Stay Home, Stay Well initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic.
By texting the keyword RESTORE to 741741, Michigan residents can have a confidential text conversation with a crisis counselor.
“With the COVID-19 pandemic and related financial hardships, we know that, now more than ever, Michigan residents are coping with stress and anxiety that can result in a mental health crisis,” said Allen Jansen, MDHHS senior deputy director of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities Administration. “By texting RESTORE to 741741, Crisis Text Line will help people Stay Home and Stay Well – along with other expanded mental health crisis services the state is providing.”
Trained counselors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to texts from Michigan residents who are facing a mental health crisis — everything from anxiety and financial issues to suicide and domestic violence. While the text line is starting during the pandemic, MDHHS intends to continue offering the service in the future.”
