🌟 Thank You for Joining Us!

We had an incredible turnout at Pathways to Peer Support event with over 100 attendees coming together to learn, connect, and explore what it means to become a Certified Peer Recovery Supporter.

During both our in-person and virtual sessions, participants had the chance to:
➡️Learn the steps to PRS certification
➡️Hear how lived experience can be a powerful tool for inspiring hope
➡️Connect with resources, providers, and others who share a passion for peer support

We’re grateful to everyone who showed up with curiosity, courage, and a desire to help others on their recovery journey. Peer support truly saves lives, and your willingness to explore this path brings more hope to our community.

Stay tuned for future opportunities, trainings, and resources to continue your journey toward becoming a PRS!

💛 International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day – Saturday, November 22, 2025 💛

This day is dedicated to survivors of su***de loss coming together to find connection, understanding, and hope through shared experience. Losing someone to su***de can be incredibly isolating, and reaching out with care and thoughtfulness makes a world of difference.

Talking to someone who has lost a loved one to su***de can be challenging. Even with the best intentions, we may accidentally say something hurtful or avoid the conversation entirely out of fear. To help, the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention compiled 10 thoughtful tips for talking to su***de loss survivors in a kind, compassionate, and supportive way.

Our work at MHAOhio is rooted in ensuring that every person has the support, dignity, and safety they deserve. Today, we continue that work with intention and care.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives lost to anti-trans violence and discrimination. Transgender and gender-diverse individuals face higher rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts due to stigma, rejection, and lack of support.

As we remember and grieve, we must also take action by creating affirming and inclusive spaces where every person feels safe and valued.
