Common Ground’s mission is to offer help, healing, and recovery to people in crisis, helping individuals and families move from crisis to hope throughout Michigan. Like firefighters, police, and EMTs, the team at Common Ground is part of our communities’ safety net.
Common Ground is nationally recognized for crisis expertise, serving more than 165,0000 people annually, with a broad range of services offered in person, by phone or text, and in virtual settings, ensuring access to care. Common Ground was selected to provide help for the Oxford, MSU, and Rochester Hills communities after mass violence events. In addition, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services selected Common Ground to operate 988/ Michigan’s Crisis & Access Lifeline (MiCAL), in 77 of 86 Michigan counties.
Most services are available 24/7/365, and no one is turned away; the generosity of donors and businesses is essential to ensure all those in need of help have access to care. Be it suicide prevention, working with survivors of mass violence, helping victims of violent crime, or providing virtual behavioral health urgent care, Common Ground is on the front lines.
