Governor Mike DeWine has announced the statewide expansion of Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS), a game-changing resource for youth mental health.

What is MRSS?
A free service for children and young adults (20 and under) in crisis. When a mental, emotional, or behavioral health emergency happens, a trained team will respond within 60 minutes to your home, school, or community to de-escalate and provide ongoing support.

Why it matters:
Available in all 88 counties
Access through Ohio’s 988 Su***de & Crisis Hotline
Up to 6 weeks of stabilization care
Helps keep kids at home and out of ERs

If your child is in crisis, call 988.

The latest communication from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services is that the federal shutdown may cause a delay in SNAP benefits starting Saturday, November 1st. Many households may experience increased stress or food insecurity during this time, and it’s important that we continue to connect them with available community supports.

To assist, we are sharing several resource lists including Shared Harvest’s comprehensive list of countywide food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. Please share this resource with your clients, partners, and community networks to ensure families can access immediate support as needed.

View the resource lists here:

Ohio WIC benefits are not impacted at this time and will be distributed as normal in the month of November.
