Just like with any health challenge, psychosis does not define who you are or limit your ability to live a fulfilling life.
With
If you know what it’s like to struggle, you are not alone! Michigan Minds works collaboratively with agencies all over the state to get folks the care they need.
Psychosis
Psychosis is a type of mental health challenge characterized by changes in thinking, emotions, and sensory perceptions that make it difficult to tell what’s real and what’s not. First episodes typically emerge in young adulthood, and getting help as soon as possible offers the best opportunity for a full recovery.

Testimonials
I was going to the [NAVIGATE] meetings and talking with people. That was the best decision I ever made. They believed in me, and that gave me faith to believe in myself.
– James, NAVIGATE Program Participant
The deep caring, experience, and expertise with which everyone on the staff has offered such a comprehensive variety of helpful programs has been of immeasurable value to our daughter and our whole family.
– Parents of NAVIGATE Program Participant
This program helps the whole family unit to heal. And when the whole family is healthier, then the program participant is healthier. So long term, the prognosis is much better for everyone.
– Keela, NAVIGATE Family Peer Partner, Kalamazoo team
Those [NAVIGATE] meetings, those check-ins – they kind of just remind me that people are out there looking out for me.
– Garrison, NAVIGATE Program Participant
Just because you had psychosis, doesn’t mean you can’t live a rich and meaningful life.
