Mental health has a profound impact on us all. Approximately one in five Ohioans is affected by mental illness. That’s why the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County is joining with the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and RecoveryOhio throughout the month of May to champion mental health awareness throughout the community in observance of Mental Health Awareness Month.
The Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County is hosting an event Celebrate Mental Health on Wednesday, May 14 from 12pm-2pm at the Hometown Bank Plaza in downtown Kent featuring several fun activities. Attendees will be able to express their creative side with rock painting, gratitude letter writing, and are encouraged to wear green. Representatives from RecoveryOhio and the Governor’s Office as well as other speakers will attend and local resources tables will be available. (Rain date: May 21, 2025)
All month RecoveryOhio is encouraging individuals to help defeat stigma by Taking the Pledge to End Stigma. By reducing stigma, we can help create an environment where individuals feel safe to pursue recovery, leading to better health outcomes and stronger communities.
For those experiencing mental health-related distress, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline offers 24/7, free and confidential support through call, text, or chat with a trained specialist.
This is such a meaningful initiative to celebrate and spread awareness about mental health. In Dubai, thoughtful gestures like a welcome kit Dubai can also play a big role in making people feel valued and supported. Truly inspiring to see efforts that promote positivity and care!
It’s good to see support for mental health. I feel the same way when I help people through my CV service—it gives them confidence.
Mental health awareness is so important for every community. I’m Ibtesam, owner of a top cv writing company, and I see how many job seekers face stress and pressure while trying to build their careers. Supporting mental health alongside skills like cv writing can really help people feel more confident and prepared for the future.
What a fantastic project! Professional well-being is actually based on mental health. Professional CV writing services may assist you in expressing not only your qualifications but also the strengths and resilience you've developed through life's trials, whether you're applying for jobs in Ireland or negotiating a job transition. Your entire journey skills, experience, and mental health awareness can be illuminated by the correct CV.
What a beautiful tribute to mental health and community well-being.These initiatives remind us how important connection and awareness really are. As a dedicated company profile creator, I’m inspired by how thoughtful narratives can uplift both individual well-being and corporate identity. Congratulations to the organizers for fostering creativity, compassion, and community through this celebration!
