The power of one.
At Northland Counseling Center, Inc., we meet people at some of the hardest moments of their lives.
🔹A parent overwhelmed by anxiety.
🔹A teen struggling with depression.
🔹An adult facing daily barriers due to serious mental illness.
🔹A family dealing with a crisis they never expected.

These are our neighbors, our co-workers, our friends. And every day, they walk through our doors looking for one thing—hope.

This year, more people than ever have turned to Northland Counseling Center for support. In our region, long distances, transportation barriers, limited resources, and provider shortages make mental health care difficult to access. But no matter the challenge, our mission remains the same:
Promote Hope and Recovery through Mutual Respect, Trust & Empowerment.

Your support is what makes that possible.

Because of donors like you, Northland Counseling Center is able to:
🔹Offer therapy and psychiatric services across multiple communities
🔹Provide community-based support through ARMHS, CTSS, CSP, and case management
🔹Respond to mental health crises quickly and safely
🔹Reduce financial barriers for individuals and families
🔹Reach people in rural areas who have nowhere else to turn

Every dollar truly matters. Every gift becomes part of someone’s turning point.

This Give to the Max Day, your donation helps ensure that no one in our communities faces mental health challenges alone. With your support, we can expand access, shorten wait times, strengthen our programs, and continue bringing hope closer to home.

Thank you for believing in the mission of Northland Counseling Center, Inc.—and for standing with the people we serve. This is the power of one!

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our colleague, Chris Ramirez. He began his employment at Northland as one of the first faces you would see (or talk to) when you entered the doors at the Main Office in Grand Rapids as one of our support staff/front desk.

He pursued training to become a Certified Peer Support Specialist (PSS) and after completion of his training he joined the team at Kiesler Wellness Center as PSS.

Chris was kind; compassionate; had a desire to help others; had a wonderful sense of humor; shared his humor through memes; he was artistic/crafty; and an amazing cook. He introduced many of his co-workers to his authentic meals (with a little less spice than he preferred 😊) and shared his craft of leather work and other crafts for a few staff events! He will be missed. 💛

Chris’s impact on our clients, co-workers and community will not be forgotten.

A Celebration of Life will be held on:
📅 Tuesday, August 26, 2025
📍 Kiesler Wellness Center
⏰ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
🥙 A light lunch will be provider
⭐️Come to share stories & memories in honor of Chris.

We invite all who knew Chris to join us in honoring their memory.
