MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH MONTH 2023
The theme for May is Mental Health Month 2023 in Richland County is “Look For Local Faces Of HOPE”
There are LOCAL Faces of Hope who are here to provide help in your recovery journey. We want to be sure you can find them when you need them.
Through the “Know It Before You Need It” community initiative we are continuing to reach Richland County residents to communicate where they can find mental health, recovery and trauma support in our county. We want our residents to know of the available services before they need them. Our ‘Good Neighbor’ movement goals are to activate more people to be aware of mental health, HELP and HOPE in Richland County and be equipped to share that information at any time with a friend, neighbor or family member in need.
“We now have more people entering recovery on any given day than we have seen. It’s indicative of a much larger increase in problems that we’ve had in the past. People are seeking help and we have a lot of agencies that people can seek that help.” Joe Trolian, Executive Director.
Where can you look for Faces of Hope? Here is the list of our area agencies.
