Community Mental Health Association of Michigan, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, developed a concise and fact-based picture of the mental health of Michigan’s children and adolescents during the time of the COVID pandemic. MC3 contributed data used in the report.
