Colors+ Counseling

Our Director of Training & Development met with Sharon, the founder of LGBTQ Book Love OH to graciously accept these LGBTQAI+ books on behalf of Colors+ Counseling Rocky River and Oberlin locations. We loved hearing her story, how many people she has helped, and about her background as a licensed social worker. Their mission is to stock free little libraries in Ohio and their vision is that "Everyone deserves to see themselves in the books they read." Thank you so much for trusting us with your donation.

These books are available for anyone, come check them out!

This speaks volumes about the County's work with harm reduction👏👏👏👏👏.

OCS Resilience Coordinator Marla Brewer plants 62 purple flags in honor of people who died due to overdose last year in Lorain County. This display can be seen at the corner of Route 58 and Lorain Street in front of First Church in Oberlin, as well as in front of the Cooper Community Resource Center, 500 E. Lorain St. The Rural Response Network, for which Marla is the Oberlin community coordinator, puts up purple flags each year in observance of International Overdose Awareness Day, which is Aug. 31. The good news is that fatal overdoses have declined over the past several years in Lorain County and dropped off steeply last year:
• In 2021, there were 143 overdose deaths.
• In 2022, there were 126 overdose deaths.
• In 2023, there were 119 overdose deaths.
• In 2024, there were 62 overdose deaths.
Marla has worked hard to address this crisis. In her role with RRN, she has distributed free Narcan and fentanyl test strips, talked with many at-risk people and family members about resources, held educational talks, and helped local pharmacies get warnings about the risk of opioid addiction to people with prescriptions.
