Crisis and mental health support for dads in Michigan

If you're a dad in Michigan going through something hard, this page lists 3 verified state resources alongside the national lines that work any hour. Every entry was checked against the organization's own site.

Right now this directory covers crisis and mental health support. More categories are being added as each one is verified.

Safety comes first: A general community resource cannot determine whether a situation is safe. If another person is threatening, controlling, stalking, or hurting you or a child, do not use a shared or monitored device if that could increase risk. If danger may be immediate, contact the emergency service for your current location.

Available everywhere in the U.S., any hour

These work from anywhere in the country. If nothing else on this page fits, start here.
