JACKSON, MI The new 24/7 crisis services center at LifeWays Community Mental Health couldn’t have come at a better time, Wade Stitt said.
As the agency’s director of access and crisis services, Stitt sees how expanded mental health services are vital to the community’s health now and after the coronavirus pandemic.
“I don’t think we’ve begun to see the impact the pandemic has had on folks’ mental illness,” he said. “We’re starting to see some of that now in the increase in our crisis response and hospitalizations, but I think this is needed now more than ever.”
