The Chelsea Community Forum is an independent, non-partisan, unaffiliated gathering of people to discuss a variety of topics and share information and ideas. Everyone is welcome, but we are generally focused on activities in the western Washtenaw townships of Lima, Lyndon, and Sylvan, and the City of Chelsea.
See the CCF home page for updates.

Behavioral Health Navigators are trained to help connect you with resources to meet your individual needs and develop a detailed plan of action. There is no charge associated with this helpful service.
Behavioral Health Navigators help you understand what kind of behavioral health care you need, find and get connected to behavioral health resources in your community and problem-solve issues that may be getting in the way of receiving the care you need.
