Parish Social Worker
My name is Patti Kelly and I am your Parish Social Worker. I am available to assist with questions or needs you have in a variety of different areas including mental health, access to health care, care for Senior Citizens, stress management, and more. Check out the resources I have compiled on the website. Additionally, I can help you plan "next steps" and where to turn for resources. If you, a family member or a friend needs assistance or you're not sure where to turn for help, please contact me at 734-464-1222, ext. 301 or by email at pkelly@stedith.org. I'm happy to help and look forward to connecting with you.
Here are some examples of situations where I may be able to help:
- Connecting Seniors to resources such as transportation, home help, and food assistance
- Obtaining health insurance and prescription assistance for eligible families
- Locating social opportunities and supportive services for an adult child with developmental disabilities
- Learning how to support family members with mental health issues and knowing what resources exist for both the individual and the family
- Connecting individuals and families to ongoing programs to assist with food, rent, utilities, legal aid, and other needs
- Sharing resources, including referrals for counseling, on management of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other issues
If you are having a mental health or medical emergency or are in crisis, go to your nearest Hospital Emergency Room or call 911 immediately.
