If you have noticed significant changes in your mood and behavior when the seasons change, you may be experiencing seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of depression characterized by a recurrent seasonal pattern, with symptoms lasting about 4−5 months out of the year. Winter-pattern SAD should not be confused with “holiday blues”—feelings of sadness or anxiety brought on by stresses at certain times of the year. If you or someone you know is showing symptoms of SAD, talk to a health care provider or a mental health specialist about your concerns and different treatment options.

Is it just the 'winter blues' or seasonal affective disorder (SAD)? Learn the signs and symptoms of SAD, a type of depression, and how to get help: samhsa.gov/mental-health/seasonal-affective-disorder

🎉 GRAND OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT 🎉

LCMHA is proud to be celebrating the Grand Opening of a new building at 201 Maumee Street in Adrian. Join us for a Ribbon Cutting and Open House on Friday, January 9th beginning at 2pm.

The new building is a major investment in community-based behavioral healthcare. It will also serve as a central hub for Lenawee CMH’s new Mobile Crisis Intervention Team.

A Mobile Crisis Intervention Team is a group of professionals that help people who are having a mental health or substance use emergency. When someone needs help right away, this team can go to them, instead of waiting for them to come to a hospital or office.

The Mobile Crisis Intervention Team works closely with law enforcement, emergency medical services, hospitals, and local organizations. Their goal is to provide support and care that may prevent a trip to the emergency room or jail.

“This new building will help us respond faster, better, and with more care during a crisis,” said Kathryn Szewczuk, Lenawee CMH Executive Director. “Having a modern, dedicated space for our Mobile Crisis Intervention Team allows us to better support people when they need it the most.”
