CWN is the publicly funded Community Mental Health Service Provider for Manistee and Benzie Counties. We’re an established company since the early 1980s (some might even call us vintage!) We see a community where everyone's life is valued, has meaning, and each person is treated with dignity and respect. It’s a serious business, but we leave room for fun, team building and staff support. We’re frequently asking, what’s the impact on clients and what’s the impact on staff?

We use practice models suitable for our job that are evidence based or best practice to support our staff’s daily functions, models of treatment, strength-based initiatives and quality outcomes. We encourage those with lived experience with mental illness, developmental disability, and/or substance use disorders to apply to bring valuable insight and perspective to our agency.
