Mental Health & Recovery Services Board for Logan & Champaign Co.

Connection starts with all of us.

Young people across Ohio face unique social and emotional challenges, but a supportive community can change everything.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and this week we are focusing on Youth Su***de Prevention.

Connection starts with all of us. When schools, families, and peers foster open, nonjudgmental conversations, we help young people realize they never have to carry their struggles alone.

Follow along with us all week for practical tools, warning signs, and actionable ways you can support the young people in your life.

Please note the MHDAS Board office will be closed today in observance of Labor Day.

And, Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Today, we recognize the people whose hard work keeps our communities moving forward.

We also know that work can impact our mental health. Taking time to rest, recharge, and spend time with the people who matter is important, too. 💚

From all of us at the MHDAS Board of Logan & Champaign Counties, we wish you a safe and restful Labor Day.

Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? 😔Sometimes a few small actions can help you slow things down.

Try:
💙Slow, steady breathing
💙 Stepping away from an overwhelming task
💙 A grounding technique
💙 Drinking some water and taking a moment to reset
💙 Reaching out for professional support when you need it

You don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable to take care of your mental health. What helps you reset when you’re feeling overwhelmed?
