CBS Detroit previews Michigan State University study on mental health crisis among youth

(CBS DETROIT) – Three mothers — Laura Marshall, Michelle Massey-Barnes, and Rachel Cuschieri-Murray — have all experienced mental health crises with their children. They teamed up, formed a Facebook group, and now are helping hundreds of other families across the state find information and resources for their children in crisis.

Michigan State University’s Department of Psychiatry is preparing to launch a Safe and Sound Schools initiative with funding through the state Department of Education. MSU is planning a five-year study pairing mental health mentors and advocates with children in crisis. The goal is to stop school shootings before they happen by intervening and a child’s mental health early.
