New Life Counseling and Community Services has a wide range of programs and help for people who need it, and the place puts a big focus on mental health, counseling, and community support, so there are legal and eviction prevention services with Legal Aid and Defender, plus crisis lines like the Suicide Prevention Hotline and other mental health hotlines for anyone who needs someone to talk to in a hard time, and there's mental health care with Macomb County and Wayne County Community Mental Health too. The women's services include My Sistahs Keeper, Vista Maria, and Alternatives for Girls, while help for homeless students and families comes from Black Family Development, and there are also groups like Crossroads of Michigan and Northend Christian CDC offering community support. There's transitional and supportive housing from Open Door Rescue Mission and Great Oaks Transitional Home, and for veterans there's VOAMI Detroit and Michigan Veterans Foundation for housing and shelter. Some shelters like Genesis House I and III, the Macomb Homeless Coalition, and Family Youth Interventions help people stay safe when they don't have a place to go, and there's special support for youth and at-risk youth at places like the Ruth Ellis Center.
People can find services for addiction, with both faith-based and other recovery programs, and there are specialized supports for people coming out of jail or facing mental health crisis with things like suicide prevention and jail navigation. Street Medicine Detroit and HUDA provide basic medical help for those in need, so even those without homes can get checked by a doctor, and there're food pantries, community meals, and case management for anyone needing food or housing help. There's a lot of help for women and girls, social services, plus activities like community gardens and youth programs, and guidance for parents and families through education and support. The staff speaks English, but there's help from culturally competent and bilingual counselors as well, so pretty much anyone can get support in a language that feels right for them, and everything covers a lot of age groups, including children, teens, and adults. You'll find medical support for needs like memory care, medication management, and incontinence care. The counseling covers individual, group, and family sessions, and there are support groups, trauma services, grief support, and aftercare for people coming out of tough times, plus assessment and case management to figure out what someone might need.
On the holistic side, the center puts some focus on things like Qigong and Tai Chi, including classes, online resources, education, and even research on how Qigong and energy medicine might help people feel better, and sometimes these programs go inside prisons or hospitals. There are community outreach teams, workshops, and events to bring people together, and fun activities like art classes, day trips, trivia, karaoke, devotional times, and intergenerational programs that bring young and old together, with special touches like the "Forever Fit" and "Live Well" programs to help everyone stay active. Amenities like Wi-Fi, cable TV, transportation, air conditioning, nice views, common areas, TV lounges, indoor spaces, and recreational rooms make it easier for everyone to stay comfortable and connected, and for meals they offer kosher food options, regular dining, and an anytime dining plan so people can eat when they want. The whole place puts focus on well-being, community, and making sure people have somewhere to turn whether they need counseling, housing, food, medical care, or just a safe spot to be with others.
