Craig Hause

Program Director - Owosso/Macomb

Craig Hause joined the Taylor Life Center team in March 2021 after an extensive career at Shiawassee County Community Mental Health, where he worked since 1998. Craig's career in mental health dates back to the late 1980s when he graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelor's degree in speech pathology and audiology. Later, in 1991, Craig earned a graduate degree from Western Michigan University in clinical psychology.

After college, Craig started working as a therapist at Branch County Community Mental Health and worked his way into middle and upper management positions. During his tenure, Craig managed outpatient and community-based programs, including those serving the developmentally disabled.  When asked why he has worked within the mental health industry, he replied, "Simple, it has been my calling for three decades. People with mental illness suffer from stigma, prejudices, and misdirected judgment. The majority of the population suffers from some mental illness during their life, yet, are afraid to acknowledge it.  It is my role to help people understand that it is ok." 

Craig spends most of his time advocating for people who have a mental illness or developmental disability and for people who stutter. During his free time, Craig enjoys bike riding, attending to his sports car, and studying marketing, psychology, and sociology.
