Sanilac County Community Mental Health
Sanilac County Community Mental Health (Sanilac CMH) is the county level public mental health agency for Sanilac County residents. Sanilac CMH serves as the mental health 'safety net' for residents affected by serious forms of mental illness and developmental/intellectual disabilities who are covered by Medicaid, Healthy Michigan Plan and the Autism Benefit, as well as individuals who are uninsured.
Sanilac CMH provides public services to individuals recovering from or living with:
- serious mental illnesses
- serious emotional disturbances (children)
- developmental disabilities
- this includes individuals who may also be diagnosed with co-occurring substance or dependence disorder
Sanilac CMH is partner in a four county regional network with Genesee, Lapeer and St. Clair counties, called Region 10. The regional network is managed by the Region 10 Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP). The PIHP also serves as the regional Substance Abuse Services Coordinating Agency (CA) for the same four county area agencies.

Introduction
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a national resource that connects people of all ages who are experiencing mental distress with support. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) offers 24/7 call, text, and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing suicidal thoughts, substance use, mental health crises, and any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline if they are worried about a friend, family member, or loved one who may need crisis support.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has partnered with Public Sector Consultants, a Lansing-based research firm, to gather input on the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline from adults aged 60 and older. Our goal is to hear your experiences, recommendations, and concerns to ensure that Michigan’s 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline call centers are prepared to better support older adults. It is especially important to MDHHS that the diverse experiences of Michigan’s older adults are carefully considered and incorporated into Michigan’s 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline outreach and education efforts. Your time, experience, feedback, and perspectives are valued and appreciated.
Discussing and reliving mental and behavioral health crises is challenging. If during or after taking the survey you feel in need of support, please call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 to receive anonymous support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is free to everyone and will still be accessible if you choose not to participate in the survey.
Please know that anything you share in the survey will remain anonymous and will be combined with answers from other individuals taking the survey, so individual respondents cannot be identified.
Thank you for your time—your input ensures the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a more connected, capable, and useful resource for people in our communities.
