Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency seeks to partner with local, community-based providers to deliver behavioral health and emotional support programs and services to children, families, and adults including our clients, staff, and other community-based organizations to create restorative healing and learning environments and experiences that foster peace, wellness, and belonging.
