History

All Well-Being Services has provided services to residents of Wayne and Macomb counties for over seventy years! We were founded by the Junior League of Detroit in 1953 and have operated continuously since that time. We are a well-established and solid organization with significant impact. All Well-Being Services is an integrated, behavioral healthcare organization dedicated to meeting the diversified needs of our community.

Our service programs are designed to help individuals and families by emphasizing the strengths and abilities of each person. Our goal is to ensure the availability of quality, individualized, and rapidly accessible integrated, behavioral and primary healthcare services. Our organization works closely with some of our community's most vulnerable adults and their families to provide them the support they need to live independently and with dignity. We provide quality services with highly qualified staff. Most importantly, AWBS professionals are caring, kind and resourceful individuals who approach their responsibilities with enthusiasm and compassion. That is what makes our services exceptional.

AWBS has received continuous accreditation from CARF since 1991. In 2012, AWBS received the highest level of CARF accreditation possible. We are governed by a diverse Board of Directors who live and work in the metropolitan Detroit from various professions. We are always looking for community volunteers to serve on our boards and committees.
