Michigan mental health “Listening Tour” came to Washtenaw County last month: Here’s who listened, why it was important

December 6, 2021

Back on September 1, House Democrats in The State of Michigan Legislature announced “their plans for a mental health listening tour” that opened with a list of “their priorities for improving our mental health system.” [1] At the outset, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) findings from mid-2020 were specifically cited.

In fact, periods just after rain has fallen will often lend added interest to subject matter, reveal otherwise hidden character, or encourage an entirely altered center of attention. The Davenport-Curtiss House on East Michigan Avenue in Saline is one such example. Built in 1875, it remains a ....
