MI Healthy Mind is a 30-minute TV talk show with a focus on all things Health and Wellness, particularly in the mental health and behavioral sectors. Seasoned hosts, Elizabeth Atkins and Michael Hunter explore a vast range of subjects (addiction,
depression, bipolar, autism etc) with valuable insights and lively conversation from popular entertainers, experts, athletes, and other newsmakers. But most important, MI Healthy Mind showcases real people, “the heroes” who have
overcome and triumphed over their mental health issues. In the wake of incredible loss, or adversity, these people found a way to turn personal tragedy into hope.
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” — Helen Keller

We as adults need to address the mental health needs of our children and the young people in our community. The Juvenile Mental Health Court of Wayne County is focused on doing just that.
“We developed the program with two goals. The first goal was to give children the skills they need to manage their mental health independently. The second goal was to focus on education.” Judge Edward Joseph details the motivation for establishing the Juvenile Mental Health Court of Wayne County, and explains why it’s so important.
Kids need – and deserve – confidence and a feeling of self-worth. “Before the program I felt worthless. I felt like I didn’t have anything going for me.” Samantha Wesley was headed down a dangerous path as a young teen. Fortunately, her mother got her the support she needed through the Juvenile Mental Health Court of Wayne County.
“When I graduated from the program, it was the first real thing that I actually accomplished in my life, and it made me feel very proud of myself.” The Juvenile Mental Health Court of Wayne County provided the resources and support that Samantha needed to go from an at-risk teen to a successful young adult.
“If you’re a parent, or if you’re a child or a teen, don’t minimize your mental health needs. Focus on them…and reach out for help.” Judge Joseph explains the importance of focusing on mental health issues and shares the resources that are there to help.
