Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), in partnership with stakeholders across the state, is in the process of developing a crisis services system for all Michiganders; following the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) model. This system will have three primary components: central crisis line (MiCAL/988), mobile crisis, and crisis stabilization units.

To help assist in the connection to Michigan’s crisis services, a database of crisis resources in Michigan has been developed.
****The crisis system is an evolving system therefore more resources will be added as the system grows in Michigan. We envision a day when everyone across our state has someone to call, someone to respond, and a safe place to go for crisis care.
Two-part Crisis System
Specialty Behavioral Health Crisis Services through Community Mental Health Service Programs (CMHSPs): There are more intensive crisis services that are fully integrated with ongoing treatment, both at payer and provider level, for people with more significant behavioral health and/or substance use disorder issues through CMHSPs.
Public Crisis System for all Michiganders: Michigan is developing a public crisis system for all Michiganders: anyone, anytime, anywhere, any payer type, and any behavioral diagnosis.
- The 988 line answered by MiCAL and three regional centers provide a statewide easy access point for crisis support (someone to call). 988 coordinates and provides real time warm transitions with the local crisis system for people who need more support than can be offered through 988.
- Local areas are developing crisis hubs which will provide crisis care such as mobile crisis and crisis receiving and stabilization centers. While services will be tailored to the local region and might look different from region to region, each area will offer services that provide its residents with “someone to respond” and “a safe place to go” when in crisis.
