Founded in 1972 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gaylord, Catholic Human Services (CHS) has been a trusted provider of compassionate care and professional support throughout Northern Lower Michigan. Guided by Catholic values and a deep commitment to human dignity, we are proud to serve individuals and families of all backgrounds, regardless of faith, income, race, or ethnicity.
 

Over the decades, CHS has expanded to serve all 21 counties in Northern Michigan through a network of regional and satellite offices. With regional main offices in Traverse City, Alpena, Gaylord, and Cadillac, our teams are embedded in the communities we serve, offering accessible, person-centered services where they are needed most.
 

Each year, more than 26,000 individuals receive support from CHS across a continuum of services, including behavioral health counseling, substance misuse treatment and prevention, pregnancy counseling and open adoption, senior support, and community-based social services. We are proud to collaborate with local, county, and state agencies to deliver evidence-based programs that reflect the highest standards in our field.

At CHS, we are committed to restoring hope, strengthening families, and fostering resilience, one life at a time.
