Celebrating 60 years of whatever it takes. Day in and day out, we help people overcome.
About us
WHO WE ARE: Hope Network is a non-profit organization operating across the state of Michigan. We have 240 locations and serve over 34,000 people with disabilities or disadvantages each and every year. WHAT WE DO: We help people overcome physical, mental or social barriers that impact how they live. The result is fulfillment through independence, progress, and community integration. Whether it’s… …a dad recovering from a brain injury …a child growing up with autism …an ex-offender trying to re-enter society …a teenager battling depression We have countless stories of restoration to tell. HOW WE DO IT: For over 60 years, we’ve provided neuro rehabilitation, behavioral healthcare, developmental support services, autism services, community support, and more. We do this because we believe every person was created to live life to the fullest – no matter their age, no matter their background, no matter what’s holding them back. WHY IT MATTERS: 60 million people in the U.S. suffer from disabilities or disadvantages that impact how they live. Over one million of these people live in Michigan. To put it into perspective, that’s more than the population of Detroit. A majority have fallen through the cracks and aren’t receiving the care they deserve. That’s a problem – but we’re solving it by being advocates for these people. hopenetwork.org | 800.695.7273

MENTAL HEALTH TIPS Are you feeling anxious? Angry? Fearful? Here's a mental health tip: You might consider finding a debriefing buddy who can relate. Then, let your thoughts and feelings flow through you like a pane of glass, rather than having them stick to you like flypaper. Call someone, or set up a virtual video call, and allow yourself some time to debrief.

MENTAL HEALTH TIPS Usually, being distracted is considered a bad thing. But in the midst of a crisis like the one we’re in, we all need healthy distractions. Consider these: Activities – Engage in an activity that requires thought. A puzzle is a great one, or a board game. You can also find different activities online that challenge your mind and take it off everything else, even for a little while. Sensations – Find a safe physical sensation to distract you from intense negative emotions. Feel the cool breeze outside. Stretch your body. Take a shower. Etc. Pushing Away – Push the negative thoughts out of your mind. Imagine writing them on a piece of paper and throwing the paper into a river. Watch them float away.
