County of Summit Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board

🍂 As the seasons change and the days grow colder, many of us start feeling the effects of seasonal shifts. For some, it’s more than a passing feeling. If you or someone you know is struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or isolation, remember: you don’t have to face it alone. Dial 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Caring support is available 24/7, for you or anyone in need. Let’s look out for each other this season and every season. 💙 #YouAreNotAlone #ADMBoard #MentalHealthMatters

Friendly reminder to go easy on yourself today. You are doing the best you can 😁 (🎨by @joyfulsmolthings)

ATTENTION: Starting today, the entrance to the ADM Board through W. Market St. will closed to vehicles. We ask that any visitors to our office follow the detour to Shatto Ave and enter through the First Baptist Church parking lot (1670 Shatto Ave, Akron, OH 44313). There will be signs on the street to help guide you. Additional details about this detour can be found on the Summit County Public Health Website at https://lnkd.in/gkwdUCmf.

Thank you to Congresswoman Emilia Sykes and the organizers of the Women in Leadership conference for inviting our Executive Director, Aimee R. Wade, to participate in a powerful panel on Women's Health and Safety today. It was an honor to have representation in a conversation centered on critical issues including unresolved trauma and women's mental health. #ADMBoard #WomeninLeadership

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services 40-hour Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS) Training, taking place at ARC Recovery Services in Akron, OH from October 21-25. There are only a few seats left! The OhioMHAS 40-hour PRS Training is a live, interactive training that teaches prospective Certified Peer Recovery Supporters (CPRS) in recovery from a mental health and/or substance use issue to use their experience to help their Peers in recovery. Prospective CPRS will engage in role-play activities and learn the skills necessary to offer high quality Peer Support. Upon successful completion of PRS training, perspective CPRS will be eligible to apply for Adult Peer Recovery Supporter Certification in Ohio. To attend training, you must be personally in recovery from a mental health and/or substance use issue and be willing to share your personal story appropriately in a group setting. Please note that having a friend or family member in recovery will not qualify you to attend this training. For more information and to register for training, please contact: aubreyl@admboard.org.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year's theme is Mental Health at Work. Let's recognize the powerful connection between mental health and work. A supportive workplace fosters well-being, while poor conditions can pose risks. You’re never alone—reach out for local resources and support at www.admboard.org. Together, we can create healthier work environments and brighter futures. #YouAreNotAlone #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters
