Priority PupsTM
Lending a hand, with an extra set of paws.
1 in 5 kids struggle with mental health.1
That’s why Priority Health is partnering with Canines for Change to launch Priority Pups™—a signature program of Priority Health for Good—sponsoring trained facility dogs to be placed in select school districts to ease anxiety and support kids as they learn.
Free mental health support with myStrength.
We’re giving Michiganders access to a leading mental wellness app called myStrength. It includes information, activities and resources to help you manage stress, reduce anxiety and improve your mood. This service is available to anyone ages 13 and up through June 30, 2024.
