The theme for May is Mental Health Awareness Month 2026 is “More Good Days, Together”. This May, the Richland County Mental Health & Recovery Services Board encourages us all to reflect on what a “good” day looks like, both for ourselves and for our communities. Together, we can use that insight to connect people to the right support at the right time, and shape advocacy, education, and community engagement to make more good days possible for all of us.

To promote Mental Health Awareness Month, the Board has complied a list of special events sponsored by local mental health and behavioral health providers as well as to inform the area residents of the mental health services available to individuals and families year-round. To access and download a copy of the Richland County Mental Health & Recovery Services Board’s “May 2026 Local Events and Services Calendar” please click here or visit our online Events Calendar. We hope you can attend an event and show your support for the dedicated and professional mental health providers and advocates that are providing services to those in need in our community.

The Richland County Mental Health & Recovery Services Board Strives to Provide Comprehensive:

Mental Health Support

The Richland County Mental Health & Recovery Services Board supports and advocates for an extensive array of mental health services through contractual agreements and partnerships with trusted local service providers.

In addition to funding and oversight, the Board promotes these community providers through the Richland Recovery Network, an online resource that helps individuals and families efficiently locate mental health services that best meet their needs.

Through these contracts and partnerships, the Board maintains a strong and coordinated continuum of care that supports Richland County residents through all stages of life. These agencies provide services such as mental health assessments, evidence‑based treatment and programming, and ongoing supportive services.

Addiction Support

In addition to funding and oversight, the Board collaborates with many of these local providers to support the Richland Recovery Network, an online resource that helps individuals and families efficiently locate mental health services that best meet their needs.

Through strong partnerships and contractual agreements with local addiction support providers, we offer a broad continuum of care, ensuring individuals and families can access appropriate treatment when and where they need it.

The services supported by the Board are designed to meet individuals at different stages of recovery and address a variety of treatment needs and include diagnostic assessment, in-person and virtual appointments, and inpatient and outpatient services.

Prevention

The Richland County Mental Health & Recovery Services Board invests in and prioritizes behavioral health prevention efforts through partnerships and agreements with local organizations to provide education and early intervention services in our community. Behavioral health prevention includes both mental health and substance use initiatives, with a focus on reducing risk factors and promoting overall wellness across the community.

In addition to funding and support, the Board works alongside community partners to advance prevention strategies that reach individuals and families before more intensive services are needed. Through these collaborative efforts, the Board strengthens a proactive approach to care that emphasizes education, awareness, and early support for Richland County residents.
