Kid Grid

Youth mental health resource guide for Southwest Michigan

Welcome to Kid Grid!

About

Kid Grid is a part of the Mental Wellness Project, a solutions-focused

reporting project of the Southwest Michigan Journalism Collaborative. As
part of our spring 2023 youth reporting series, A Way Through: Strategies
for Youth Mental Health, this guide was produced to help parents and
youth learn more about where to access mental health services based on
level of need, geographic proximity, services needed and insurance,
Medicaid or payment information.

The Mental Wellness Project is a solutions-oriented journalism initiative

covering mental health issues in Southwest Michigan, created by the
Southwest Michigan Journalism Collaborative.

How to Use

Kid Grid provides an easy-to-read grid to quickly preview service options.

The listing at the end of the document has more details on mental health
services, listed alphabetically by provider. This guide also includes a listing of
inpatient facilities for youth with more severe mental health issues.

What's Included

General Flow Chart — see how the process may unfold based on your
child's needs (from immediate/crisis situations to moderate mental health
concerns)

Page 1 swmichjournalism.com
"My child needs help" — read a quick summary of what to expect around
first steps, mental health services access points and links, age of consent and
insurance companies.

Kid Grid Chart — find what organizations may be able to provide services
based on a child's specific need.

Youth Outpatient Resources — read more details on the outpatient

organizations and their specific services.

Youth Inpatient Resources — review the inpatient facilities for youth in the
state and where they are located.

Contact Listing — find names, addresses and services of the outpatient

organizations mentioned in this guide, with more detail on what services are

might be helpful as you seek services

NOTE: This is not meant to be a replacement for contact with your child's
pediatrician and school system, which are often the first connections made in
seeking mental health services. Private practice therapy and counseling were
not listed unless an organization provides culturally specific services or
diagnostically specific services. School-based services are also not part of this
listing.

‘My child needs help’
First steps
If you have concerns about your child’s mental health, emotional well-being
or behaviors, the best place to start is to speak with your child’s doctor
about possible causes and next steps. Your child’s school also may be able to
recommend resources and start educational interventions. Your child may
need to have a mental health diagnosis to receive some services, both in the
community and at school. Often, your child’s pediatrician can diagnose
minor to moderate issues, but other diagnoses require a mental health
professional.

Finding a therapist or provider

The reference guide below outlines some of the bigger community providers
in Southwest Michigan for outpatient therapies, neuropsychological testing
and other specialized treatments. If you are uninsured or have Medicaid
only, start with your local Community Mental Health (CMH) agency. If you
have private (commercial) insurance, ask your insurance provider for a list of
covered mental health providers. Other helpful resources for finding a
provider include Psychology Today and Michigan 2-1-1. Both sites allow you
to narrow your search by the type of service and your zip code. You also may
be able to locate support groups and treatment centers this way. Lastly, ask
around: Experienced parents often can recommend exactly what you and
your child need.

Age of consent for mental health treatment

Under Michigan law, minors age 14 and older can request and receive up to
12 sessions or four months of outpatient mental health services without
consent or knowledge of the minor’s parent or legal guardian. Minors
considering mental health services should contact their local CMH. Click
here for more information about Michigan’s Mental Health Code Section
330.1707.

Page 5 swmichjournalism.com
Outpatient referrals

Most community agencies providing mental health or substance use

disorder care will require a referral for some or all services. Many of these
referral requirements are noted in the resource guide, but it is best to call
ahead to inquire what is needed. For substance use disorder care through
community agencies, you must be referred through Southwest Michigan
Behavioral Health (SWMBH), a partner with CMH agencies in Southwest
Michigan. Call SWMBH’s Substance Abuse Treatment Access line at 800-781-
0353.

Insurance coverage
Payments accepted by each mental health provider are outlined in the
resource guide, but it is always best practice to check with your own health
insurance to inquire about coverage with your chosen provider before
scheduling services. Call the customer service number on the back of your
insurance card. If you are uninsured or have Medicaid, your local CMH is the
best place to start.

Terms and Definitions

CMH: Community Mental Health

Your CMH is your local public mental health agency that serves your
particular county or group of counties in Michigan. Your local CMH is the
first stop for mental health assistance for those in crisis; those with serious
mental health, behavioral or emotional challenges; or for those without
insurance or with Medicaid only. Some CMH agencies are Certified
Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) and can serve anyone
regardless of age, residency or insurance status. Many CMH agencies have
rebranded under other names: Integrated Services of Kalamazoo
(Kalamazoo County), Summit Pointe (Calhoun County) and Woodlands
Behavioral Health Network (Cass County). These have been marked as CMH
in the resource guide for clarity, as well as our regional CCBHC’s.

SED: Serious Emotional Disturbance

Childhood SED is the presence of a diagnosable mental, behavioral or
emotional disorder that impairs a child’s ability to function and substantially
interferes with family, school or community activities.

SEDW: Waiver for Children with Serious Emotional

Disturbance
This waiver enables Medicaid to fund necessary home- and community-
based services for children with SED, regardless of insurance status. Eligible
children will receive Medicaid coverage and have access to the full spectrum
of available services through CMH. If you are concerned your child may have
SED and could qualify for the SEDW, call the access/intake department at
your county’s CMH agency and ask for your child to be assessed for the
SEDW. Click here for the State of Michigan’s eligibility criteria for the SEDW.

Inpatient Facilities for Children and Adolescents Across
Michigan
Overview
Inpatient psychiatric care may be recommended when a patient is having a
severe mental health episode and/or poses a danger to themselves or
others. Patients must be referred for inpatient care from a hospital
emergency room or from a state agency such as Community Mental Health
(CMH), the juvenile justice system or Michigan Department of Health and
Human Services (MDHHS). Most child and adolescent inpatient facilities in
Michigan offer short-term care to stabilize the crisis until the patient can be
safely discharged to outpatient care.

Care at an inpatient psychiatric facility typically includes 24-hour care, crisis

stabilization, comprehensive assessment, psychiatric care, medical care,
counseling, medication management, nursing services, interpretation
services and transition services; often occupational therapy, educational
services and recreational therapy also are included.

Wait times
Michigan inpatient psychiatric beds for children and teens are few. Wait
times for an inpatient bed are common and change day to day. Staff levels,
bed availability, referral status, eligibility requirements, and a child’s
particular needs all contribute to this complicated equation. Most facilities
do not keep wait lists, but prioritize admission on a case-by-case basis.
Parents with children needing inpatient mental health care should brace
themselves to wait anywhere from a few days to several weeks for a bed.

Referrals
As mentioned above, patients must be referred for inpatient care from a
hospital emergency room or from a state agency such as CMH, the juvenile
justice system or MDHHS. Many facilities prioritize or only take patients

Page 15 swmichjournalism.com
referred from these agencies. The resource guide makes mention of these
requirements.

Where to stay
This resource guide lists inpatient facilities across the state of Michigan, as
inpatient beds for children and adolescents are scarce. That means it is likely
a family in need of this type of care for their child will need to travel. Ronald
McDonald Houses are free places to stay for families of children ages 0-18
who are being treated at a nearby hospital or facility. Click here to find a
house program near your location, or contact the social services department
at the facility where your child will receive care to inquire about Ronald
McDonald Houses or possible discounted hotel rooms.
