✨ Giving Back, Year After Year ✨

For the 6th year in a row, our Columbia office came together to spread holiday cheer! This year, 21 Thanksgiving boxes were delivered to consumers, complete with turkeys donated by Food Lion and extra goodies made possible by a local church❤️

It’s always special when our Care Managers can personally deliver these boxes, connecting with the people we serve and sharing gratitude. Here’s to continuing this tradition for many more years! 🦃💛

Mental Health Cooperative and our Partners in Care (PIC) program received the Father Fred Dettwiller Award for Public Safety from the Metro Nashville Police Department and the Nashville Police + Public Safety Alliance.

This collaboration between MHC and MNPD has transformed how first responders approach mental health calls. Our goal is to ensure people receive compassionate care and vital resources without falling through the cracks.

We’re proud to be part of a movement that’s redefining what safety and care look like in our community. 💙 Metropolitan Nashville Police Department

Give what you can. Change what you see.

Mental Health Cooperative is coming together to ensure our neighbors have what they need this season. Beginning November 5th, drop off non-perishable food items at any of our 12 MHC locations.

Every can, box, or dollar helps us feed families across our serving communities. Together, we can make sure no neighbor goes without. 💙

Yesterday symbolized that hope truly starts here.

We are deeply honored to announce the opening of our Children and Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to providing peace, safety, and healing for the young people of Tennessee.
This milestone represents our collective commitment to the next generation, ensuring that every child and teen in crisis has access to compassionate, immediate care.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our state and city leaders for their unwavering support: Governor Bill Lee, Commissioner Marie Williams (TN Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services), Mayor Freddie O’Connell, and Judge Sheila Calloway.

To our board members, payors, first responders, and community partners — thank you for believing in this mission and helping make it a reality.
And to our community — we are honored to serve you and to be a place of healing and hope.

The Children and Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit will open to the public in the next 30 days. If you or someone you love is experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please contact us at 615-726-0125 or walk in at 250 Cumberland Bend, Nashville, TN.

Hope starts here.

Most stays last one to three days, giving care teams the chance to stabilize, connect, and guide families toward continued support.
