We talk a lot about mental health—but we also try to practice it.

At MHAOhio, the first Friday of every month means an early end to the day for our team. A small but intentional way to honor rest, balance, and the reality that healthy workplaces support whole people.

When we build space to recharge, we show that mental health isn’t just part of our mission—it’s part of our culture. 🧠✨

Grateful to the Human Service Chamber of Franklin County for hosting this yoga session. It was such a grounding way to start the first First Friday of the year. 🧡

January is Poverty Awareness Month.

When people are struggling to afford housing, food, childcare, or healthcare, the constant stress of survival can take a serious toll on mental well-being. Financial insecurity is linked to higher rates of anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress—yet too often, these challenges are treated as individual failures rather than the result of systemic barriers.

At MHAOhio, we know that mental health cannot be separated from the conditions in which people live. Supporting mental well-being means advocating for policies and systems that reduce poverty, expand access to care, and ensure everyone has the resources they need to thrive.

This Poverty Awareness Month, we stand with individuals and families navigating financial hardship—and we reaffirm our commitment to addressing the root causes that impact mental health, not just the symptoms.

Because mental health is shaped by more than what’s happening inside our minds—it’s shaped by the world around us.

Proud to see community leadership in action! 🧡

Erika Clark Jones, ADAMH CEO and Eastmoor Academy alumna, is a perfect example of how the seeds planted in school can grow into leadership that uplifts an entire community. Her story reminds us that the people we are today are built not just by our own drive, but by the teachers, mentors, classmates, and neighborhoods that shaped us along the way.

At MHAOhio, we’re inspired by leaders like Erika—those who use their experience, knowledge, and compassion to make Franklin County stronger, healthier, and more connected. This is what it looks like when community and leadership come together. ✨

The new year often comes with pressure to change, improve, or “fix” ourselves—but mental health reminds us that growth doesn’t require urgency.

You don’t need a resolution to be worthy of care. You don’t need a fresh start to deserve support.

As we step into this new year, MHAOhio encourages gentler goals: rest when you need it, ask for help when it feels heavy, and move at your own pace. Healing isn’t a race—and you don’t have to do it alone.
