Vinton County, join us on the first and third Wednesdays of each month for NAMI Connection!

The Harm Reduction Clinic will be held at the Health Department for the rest of the year at 278 West Union Street. A harm reduction clinic is held every Wednesday, 12:30-3PM. Anyone can pick up Naloxone at the clinic to use if someone they are with experiences an overdose. Naloxone (and training on how to administer it) is also available by appointment at the health department. Call us at 740-592-4431 to make an appointment or for more information.

The OhioHealth Substance Use Navigator will be available at the clinic.

“Once, I called. Now, I answer.”
That’s what it means to be a NAMI HelpLine volunteer.

If 2025 taught you how strong you are, let 2026 be the year you use that strength to lift someone else. Start your new year with purpose.

Volunteer. Listen. Support.
