GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The foundation behind one of West Michigan’s most recognizable phrases has unveiled a new website.
Benice.org is the work of the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan.
The first thing visitors will notice when they go to the website is a toll-free phone number to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline — 1.800.273.8255.
“If you are in distress and need immediate help, call 911,” said Jessica Jones, the program promotion coordinator for the Mental Health Foundation. “If you are in crisis, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a great line to do that. The mobile links are set up so if you click them, it will take you to call them right away.”
Under the “Get Help” tab, visitors will find information broken down by different forms of mental illness including eating disorders, dating and domestic abuse and cutting and self-injury among others.
