Mental Health Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties Mental Health Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties advocates for and supports a system

MHRB believes in:
- Creating and supporting Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC). This means that we use creative approaches to prioritize the needs of individuals and family members and help people find recovery from mental illness and substance use problems. We uphold individual preferences and that there are many pathways to finding and sustaining recovery. This means that healthy environments are just as important as individual change.
- Supporting trauma-informed communities. We recognize that trauma is a common experience and understand that creating safe spaces is integral to facilitating quality care and necessary to foster growth.
- Advocating for care in the least restrictive settings, while also supporting inpatient levels of care when necessary.
- Finding strategic, cross-system solutions by identifying a common agenda and using common language, by sharing data, by supporting mutually reinforcing activities, and by using continuous communication with system partners.

Our Story

At Mental Health Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties (MHRB), we know that healthy people create healthy communities—and vice versa. That’s why we provide help to those in need by connecting residents to the local care community, regardless of income or ability to pay.

We assist partners, stakeholders, residents, and anyone at risk of mental health or substance use concerns, providing pathways to mental health and addiction services for everybody and every family in our three-county area. We connect those who need it to treatment, while also creating prevention-prepared and recovery-oriented communities that are resilient, supportive, and trauma-informed.

Our dedicated board members and staff provide resources for prevention, treatment, and support, while upholding a community-wide safety net to protect families, adults, and children. Knowing that individuals who have basic needs met are more likely to get and stay well, we advocate for better quality of life and provide resources for basic needs like transportation, housing, and medication.

MHRB is one of 50 Boards that make up Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities, a trade association for Ohio’s Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health (ADAMH) Boards. The association awards Culture of Quality Certification (COQ) to Boards who have demonstrated evidence of substantial conformance with the COQ standards and a serious commitment to meeting the goals of the COQ program. MHRB is proud not only to be a COQ-certified board, but to have two volunteer surveyors on staff.
