Hope, Recovery, and Local Support
September brings national attention to two important areas of behavioral health: Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and National Recovery Month.
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month reminds us to know the warning signs, check in with the people around us, and make sure individuals and families know where to turn when someone is in crisis. National Recovery Month recognizes that recovery from mental health and substance use challenges is possible and looks different for every person. It also highlights the role that treatment, peer support, family support, and community connection can play along the way.
As September comes to a close, we want to bring that conversation closer to home by highlighting local resources available across Allen, Auglaize, and Hardin Counties.
If someone needs crisis support, wants to check in on their mental health, or is looking for connection during recovery, there is help right here in our communities. There is hope.
Help is Available 24/7
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, support is available any time of the day or night.
Call the local 24/7 HOPEline at1-800-567-HOPE (4673).
You can also call or text 988. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects you with trained crisis counselors 24 hours a day.
The local We Care Regional Crisis Center also provides crisis counseling, assessments, referrals, crisis stabilization, and other services for people who need immediate support.
Check In With Your Mental Health
Sometimes the first step is simply recognizing that something does not feel right.
Our online mental health screenings are quick and anonymous. This tool can help you learn more about what steps you can take next. Screening options include depression, anxiety, substance use, alcohol use, PTSD, gambling, well-being, and more.
Recovery Happens Through Connection
Recovery can also mean finding people who understand what you are going through.
NAMI and Coleman Health Services' Connection Recovery Support Group is a free and confidential support group for adults living with mental health conditions. Groups are led by two trained facilitators who are living in recovery themselves.
