On Monday, families affected by the mass shooting at a Rochester Hills splash pad will have access to mental health support closer to home. The Family Assistance Center, opened by Oakland County and Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN), has moved to the Rochester Community Schools Administration Building located at 52585 Dequindre Road in Rochester. Counselors will be available from 2 to 7 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays to provide support for victims, their families, and others affected by the violence.
Since its opening, 37 people have sought services at the center, according to county officials. In addition to the assistance center, OCHN will have a mental health resource table at the Festival of the Hills on Wednesday, June 26, at Borden Park on 1400 E. Hamlin Road. While this table will provide community resources, on-site counseling will not be available that day.
For those who are unable to visit the Family Assistance Center or attend the festival event, a hotline is available at (800) 848-5533 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., manned by Oakland County’s Nurse on Call team. Additionally, individuals can reach out to OCHN’s non-emergency behavioral health access department by calling (248) 464-6363 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Friday or visit oaklandchn.org for more information about their services and resources available throughout Oakland County and beyond
