Community Mental Health of Ottawa County

Last week CMHOC took some clients and staff to the Walk-A-Mile Rally at the Capitol in Lansing to advocate for Mental Health Issues and the rights of those who receive behavioral health services throughout the state. They were joined by numerous other CMHs and former Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow for an awesome event! Thank you to all who came out and we will see you at WAM 2026 next year!
