James Tate, Detroit City Council President Pro Tem, has launched a new campaign to address mental health issues in the city. The ‘Protect Your Crown’ campaign is a partnership with multiple city agencies and aims to take a unique approach to mental health care in Detroit.
Tate emphasized the importance of working closely with residents to gather information and develop collaborative solutions that effectively support the community. He highlighted the significance of involving residents in this initiative and adapting strategies to respond to their specific concerns.
The main objective of the campaign is to have 5,000 Detroiters participate in an anonymous mental health survey. By collecting responses, the city will be able to identify areas where mental health services are most needed. This data will then be used to allocate resources to areas that require greater support. Tate highlighted the importance of identifying mental health trends based on zip codes to better understand and address the diverse needs of the city.
The ‘Protect Your Crown’ campaign seeks to create a more inclusive and collaborative approach to mental health support in Detroit. It aims to develop targeted solutions that are tailored specifically for different neighborhoods within the city. By working together with residents, Tate believes that they can create a stronger and more supportive community for all its members.
