We’re saddened to share that our dear friend and former colleague, George Henry passed away on October 5. George spent the better part of a decade as the Finance Director of MHAOhio before officially retiring in December 2024, and in that time became a well-loved part of the fabric of our organization. George cared deeply for his coworkers and the folks we served and was so proud to “take care of the people who were taking care of the people.” We’ll miss his infamous dad jokes, commiserating with him about his beloved Browns, hearing classic rock blaring out of his office after hours, seeing photos from his growing up years, and talking about the best food around town. Our hearts go out to the loves of his life – his wife Alexa and beloved daughters Kayla and Amanda.

You’ll always be part of MHAOhio, Geo H. We’ll sure miss you.

This September kicked off the new cohort of the Franklin County Behavioral Health Leadership’s Academy! The cohort gathered for 4-days in September to complete their foundational training, the Middle Manager Academy, facilitated by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. It was a week filled with learning, relationship building, and meaningful dialogue around participants shared experience in their roles. We look forward to supporting this cohort for the next five months to continue to grow our new knowledge into skills within the supportive relationships forming.

1 in 5 LGBTQ+ adults in Franklin County seriously considered su***de in the past year.
It’s time to talk about it, listen, and act. 💜

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ youth—especially youth of color—are at even higher risk.
📞 The LGBTQ+ line of 988 received nearly 3,000 calls from Franklin County alone.
💡 Resilience is possible. Connection matters. Safe, affirming environments save lives.

Let’s end the stigma. Let’s prevent su***de.

✨ “You matter, and you belong in this world. Please stay.” ✨

Meet Jess Fannin, Senior Manager of the Franklin County Su***de Prevention Coalition and a su***de attempt survivor. Jess is using her voice and lived experience to bring hope, challenge stigma, and create a world where reaching out for help is seen as a strength.

This Su***de Prevention Month, we’re honored to share Jess’s story — a powerful reminder that prevention goes beyond crisis lines. It means creating communities where basic needs are met, relationships are supportive, and no one feels alone.

💙 You are not alone. You are valued. You belong here. 💙
