Robert S. Brown Crisis Center

Ottawa County

Robert S. Brown Crisis Center is a 6-bed co-ed specialized facility, which provides an alternative to inpatient hospitalization for adults who are experiencing an emotional or mental health crisis.  The program serves individuals in an acute crisis who require 24-hour support services for behavioral concerns in a supervised environment that allows freedom of movement in the community. Admission to the crisis program is voluntary.

Trained staff provides in-house programming, centering on psycho-educational groups and leisure activities. Staff consult with residents and use assessment skills to identify resident needs and plan groups that encourage involvement and participation.

Clinical groups provide education to residents on a variety of topics such as mental illness, substance abuse, medication management, social skills, anger and stress management, safety and symptom management. 

Brown Crisis Center follows Hope Network's commitment to providing a welcoming, accessible, integrated, continuous, and comprehensive model of services for residents with mental illness and co-occurring disorders.

Heart of West Michigan United Way invites you to take on the Small Business Challenge, created through a generous matching grant of $100,000 from the Steelcase Foundation. Any new United Way gift of $1,000 or more from a workplace of 100 or less employees will be matched up to a total of $100,000 by the end of March 2012.
 
Small businesses are the heart of most communities, yet during the 2010 United Way Campaign small businesses of 100 employees or less made up only 11.5% of total campaign dollars. This campaign year, United Way is hoping to change that with the Small Business Challenge.
