Detroit is located in the northern part of the United States and the northern part of the state of Michigan.  The climate offers residents a taste of all 4 seasons, with a heavy 4 month winter season with average lows in the teens from December to February.1  One great thing about the climate is that the humidity is low.  If you like water, you can travel to the Northeast part of the city to spend time on the lake.  There are many avid Detroit citizens who own boats on the lake which they dry dock in the winter to avoid damage from the freezing water. During the summer, the lake is bustling with life, people, and nightlife that is attractive to families, individuals, and singles.

Mental Health in Detroit

For many in the Detroit area, poverty is a primary concern. Unfortunately, poverty often co-occurs with mental illness, substance abuse, or both. After seeing a rapid decline in the number of poor people throughout the 1990s,2 Detroit has seen a rapid increase since the recession of the late 2000s. Today, over 38 percent of Detroit's residents live below the poverty line. The population of Detroit is also overwhelmingly African-American.3 Unfortunately, this is a population that is grossly under-served by mental health services and as a result, mental health issues are very common in the city.

Detroit Central City Community Mental Health is a primary provider of essential behavioral health and medical services to Detroit's citizens who are most in need. With a highly trained staff, the agency can help clients address a wide variety of issues, including serious psychiatric illnesses, chemical dependency, and housing needs. The center supports individual's efforts to better themselves, and offers literacy classes and employment support services in order to make positive changes a reality. All services are provided on a sliding fee scale; however, if an individual is unable to pay, the services are offered for free. Additional information is provided by calling 313-831-3160.4
