The ACMH Family Center is part of a statewide, non-profit
organization dedicated to families. We believe that every
child should be emotionally and physically healthy, live
happily in their family, have friends, and be successful in
their school and community. Every child should look forward
to a bright future.
The purpose of the ACMH-SWD Family Center is to strengthen
the capacity of families, schools, and community mental
health systems to provide environments that are physically,
socially, and emotionally nurturing and secure for all
children in southwest Detroit.

Core Values
Family-driven – families are the best advocates
for their child and must be key partners in everything
we do
Community-based – children are best educated and
served in their community
Strength-based- the child and each family member
brings strengths which must be recognized and nurtured
The whole child – families, educators, service
providers and ACMH advocates operate as a team to meet
the child’s individual needs |

Children's Agenda 2008
In 2008, more than seventy Michigan Coalition for Families member
organizations, including ACMH, called upon elected officials
and business leaders to support investments in Michigan's children. Out
of this call to action, came the
2008
Children's Agenda, which is now available online. |
