LANSING – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has selected a staffing vendor and initial pilot program regions for the Michigan Crisis and Access Line (MiCAL) that will be available for anyone in the state who needs behavioral health or crisis response services.
MiCAL will be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will provide Michiganders with crisis services and non-crisis “warm line” services, informational resources, and facilitated coordination with local systems of care such as Community Mental Health Services Programs, Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans, and other applicable entities. In addition, MiCAL will integrate with treatment registries including psychiatric beds, substance use disorder services, and crisis residential services.
