(CBS DETROIT) – Leaders at the local, state and federal levels all came out to celebrate the ribbon cutting of My Mental Wellness Center, housed at the Islamic Center of Detroit.
“I want people to see our faith this way, as humanity and shared humanity. If you feel like sometimes it’s so invisible to people, you do it through action,” said Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
The facility’s team of therapists, clinical psychologists, counselors and social workers provide quality care with special attention to cultural sensitivity and faith-based care.
“In many cultures, mental health is shrouded in silence and misunderstanding. Many believe that discussing mental health amounts to weakness, leading to isolation and despair. Our clinic here is more than just a facility. It is a safe haven,” said Danish. Hasan, director of the Islamic Center of Detroit.
It offers both in-person and virtual appointments.
“There are too many people who have barriers that stand between them and their healthiest health, and so it is truly inspiring to have this kind of infrastructure deeply embedded in the community, created through the effort and intellect of dedicated community leaders and servants.” Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II said.
Everyone deserves to be happy and healthy, and it starts here at My Mental Wellness in Detroit.
My Mental Wellness already has plans in the works to open a second location for youth at the Fairlane Club in Dearborn.
