Mental Health Crisis Care Center Opens in Detroit
As we talked about in Shannon’s Scoop this morning, it’s nice to see the city and organizations investing in mental health. The City of Detroit and Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network have opened the first of 3 crisis centers on Friday in Detroit’s New Center area at Milwaukee and Third Street called 707 Crisis Care Center.
It’s to ease the pressure on local emergency departments and address the surge of mental health emergencies occurring in Wayne County. And let’s be very honest, we haven’t addressed this in a very long time. All services through the center are absolutely free, which is awesome.
The crisis center is a 32 bed, 24-hour facility that will support those in need for 72-hours and potentially longer depending on medical professionals recommendations. They accept crisis walk-ins, crisis stabilization, and then they also have a mobile health unit that will serve residents across 83 communities.
There are other crisis centers in the works, including a 25 bed facility Down River and a 60 bed facility on 7 Mile in Southfield. Thank you to the city for stepping in and making it happen. There’s a long history here in Michigan of the government withdrawing tons of money for mental health care, shutting down hospitals, just putting people out on the streets. So, it’s really nice to see something actually happening in this arena. You can learn more below. And you can call the 24/7 Crisis Hotline any time at 1-800-241-4949.

Listening To These 5 Artists Make You A Safer Driver
Music is one of the most popular ways people make their drive more enjoyable. Depending on the type of music, your driving experience may wildly vary from the next person. Upbeat music can make you want to drive faster, while classical music may make you slower or even sleepy.
Optimally, you would want to select music that isn’t too distracting and will leave you feeling alert and in a good mood. Choosing which genre or artists make you drive better to be the most beneficial in helping your concentration when driving is important.
In a study by Auto Trader, the automotive marketplace company conducted a study of what artists help improve concentration behind the wheel. A group of 17 participants were asked to spot and identify driving hazards in a series of virtual driving scenarios, whilst listening to music artists from a range of popular genres.
The study participants completed a series of hazard perception tests while listening to different playlists from 20 different popular artists that have been regularly streamed or played on the radio in 2024. After taking each hazard perception test while listening to the popular playlists, the participants’ scores were recorded and totaled to discover the average result per musician.
While the majority of study participants passed their hazard perception tests while listening to different artists, there were two artists that severely impacted participants’ abilities to spot and react to hazards in a timely manner. Both classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach and rapper Megan Thee Stallion did not prove to be helpful artists to listen to in the car, with participants scoring an average of 42.5 and 37.5, respectively. For context, you must score at least 44 out of 75 in order to pass.

For optimal driving safety, it is recommended that you listen to music in the car without headphones on and at a low volume. Adjusting the volume while behind the wheel is another distracting factor while driving.
The scores below represent the average score achieved by multiple participants listening to a particular artist during their hazard perception tests; higher scores indicate greater levels of concentration, meaning the participants identified and reacted to hazards quicker when listening to that artist.
The latter half of the top ten is as follows:
10. The 1975 — 54
9. Harry Styles — 54.5
8. Foo Fighters — 55
7. Beyonce — 55.5
6. BTS — 56.5
