💬 Let’s talk about youth alcohol use...

Recent data from the 2024 Search Institute Student Survey shows:
• 15% of Logan County students
• 20% of Champaign County students
reported alcohol use in the past 30 days.

These numbers matter but so does what we do next.

Parents and caregivers have a powerful influence. Open, honest conversations can help delay use and reduce risk.

Here are a few ways to start:
• Ask what they’re seeing or hearing from friends
• Share clear expectations about alcohol
• Stay connected and involved in their daily lives

These conversations don’t have to be perfect — they just need to happen.

If you’re looking for resources or support on how to talk with your child, we’re here to help.

We’re proud to celebrate some incredible local leaders making a difference in our communities! 👏
At the recent Ohio CIT Conference held in Columbus, two dedicated professionals from Logan and Champaign Counties were recognized with prestigious statewide honors:

🏆 Lt. Tim Klingelhofer (Logan County Sheriff’s Office), was named 2025 CIT Corrections Professional of the Year for his leadership in transforming jail practices through de-escalation, collaboration, and compassionate care. His work has helped create a culture that balances accountability with empathy and supports successful reentry.

🏆 Julie Wilcox, MA, LSW (TCN Behavioral Health), was named 2025 CIT Health Professional of the Year for her outstanding crisis response work alongside law enforcement. Her commitment to person-centered care and connecting individuals to ongoing support continues to make a lasting impact.

👏 We also want to recognize Leslie Massie (Champaign Countywide Communication Center), who was nominated for CIT Public Safety Telecommunications Professional of the Year for her critical role in ensuring compassionate, effective responses from the very first call.

These recognitions highlight the power of the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program model—bringing together law enforcement, behavioral health, and community partners to improve crisis response through safety, de-escalation, and connection to care.

Thank you to all of our CIT partners across Logan and Champaign Counties for your dedication to building stronger, more compassionate systems of care. 💙

Talking with kids about difficult topics is not always easy, but open and honest conversations can make a powerful difference.

Parents, guardians, and caregivers play an important role in helping young people understand their feelings, make healthy choices, and navigate challenges like peer pressure, substance use, and mental health struggles. Creating a safe space for conversation helps children feel supported and more likely to come to you when something is wrong.

Start with simple, everyday conversations. Listen without judgment, be direct when something concerns you, and use teachable moments to guide and support your child.

Recovery is built one day at a time.

Whether you are at Day 1 or Day 1,000, every step forward matters. Some days may feel easier than others, but choosing sobriety today is something to be proud of.

If you are on your recovery journey, remember that progress does not have to be perfect. What matters most is continuing to move forward and reaching out for support when you need it.

If you or someone you know needs support with substance use or recovery, help is available.

WHAT WE DO: FOCUS ON COMMUNITY CARE

The focus of the Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol Services Board is to provide the right care for the people of our two counties. The Board does this by planning, developing, monitoring, and evaluating the publicly funded behavioral health services for the citizens in Logan and Champaign Counties. Our goal is for the care to be provided in our communities when at all possible. The Board works with local community mental health and chemical dependency providers, law enforcement, court systems, schools, and other community organizations to fund the programs that will provide the needed level of care.

In spite of cuts in State and Federal funding the Board has been able to help maintain current services available in the community. The Board has been able to do this even though 75% of the boards in the state have higher funding levels. We do this by working closely with our community providers to ensure that they provide quality care to all clients.

Behavioral Health disorders affect 1 out of every 5 Americans and occur across the lifespan affecting persons of all races, all genders, and all educational and socioeconomic groups. Mental illness is not that different from medical illnesses such as heart problems or diabetes. With treatment things get better, but without treatment the consequences of ignoring physical or mental health issues are the same, things will get worse. Ignoring a mental health issue is as detrimental as ignoring a physical issue.
