HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – The Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Boards has just been awarded a grant of $4.2 million from the Michigan Health Endowment Fund to improve the quality of health for seniors across the state.
Twelve communities throughout the state, including Community Mental Health of Ottawa County (CMHOC), will receive a portion of these funds to implement an evidence based treatment called Senior Reach.
Senior Reach is a nationally accredited program that works with multiple community partners to identify older adults, living in Ottawa County, who may need emotional or physical support. The goal of the program is to keep seniors living independently in their community by providing brief counseling and care management to connect them to resources.
CMHOC will receive $241,000 over the next two years to operate the program.
