The shameful shift of children suffering from emotional disorders from the mental health system to the juvenile justice system.

For the past several years MACED has assisted with cases of children with mental illness charged with criminal offences.

MACED is currently developing an advocacy project in honor of the late Harry J. Nederlander.

The Association is always looking for new ways to improve the mental healthcare system for children and we welcome your suggestions for new programs.

Gov. Granholm announces mental health commission to be appointed

Governor Granholm announced July 22, 2003 that she will appoint a special commission to examine the state’s mental health system and make recommendations for improving it. The Governor is convinced that the system is broken and that many Michigan residents are suffering needlessly as a result. MACED urged then Governor-elect Granholm during the gubernatorial transition to appoint such a commission that would focus on children with emotional disorders as well as adults with mental illness. See the Detroit News series on the broken mental health system July 20-22 and August 8, 2003 at: http://www.detnews.com/specialreports/2003/mentalhealth/

The Kalamazoo and Southfield offices would appreciate hearing from MACED members interested in serving or recommendations for potential candidates.
