2014 Annual Report

A Year In Review It has been a busy year for us! We are excited to share details with you about our community collaboration. Several state funded grants that are focused on partnership with Family and Children First Council: Behavioral Health Juvenile Justice for Wayne Holmes Counties Juvenile Courts, and Strong Families – Safe Communities partnering with Wayne and Holmes Counties Developmental Disabilities Board and Catholic Charities to provide wrap around services. These programs are improving the quality of our system of care by implementing evidence-based practices.

We would like to highlight two of the programs authorized by our Board of Directors: Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) with STEPS at Liberty Center and the Children’s Services Substation with ANAZAO Community Partners. MAT allows individuals to safely detox from opiate addiction under the care of a physician and treatment team. CSB Substations provide treatment for opiate and other drug addictions to families with children in the CSB system, allowing them to receive services at CSB. Available state funds were utilized to support these needed programs, which address the opiate epidemic in our area. The Counseling Center was also able to utilize these funds to assist many individuals in securing employment. We are grateful to our state legislators for their approval of continuation funds to make these programs possible.

As we look to the future, our focus begins to center around the creation of our Recovery Oriented System of Care. We are excited to see MOCA House and OASIS develop and grow their positive impact on our community. The coming months will bring many exciting changes to our local system of care.

QPR Training The Mental Health & Recovery Board of Wayne and Holmes Counties has made suicide prevention a top priority with the QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training process, which is considered a best practice by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. QPR is used to train individuals to recognize the signs of suicide, persuade a suicidal individual to seek help, and refer persons in need to the appropriate services. This is possible through grants provided by the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation, the Ohio Program for Campus Safety and Mental Health (SAMHSA funds), and the Wayne County Community Foundation. The Wayne/Holmes MHRB was able to provide 18 trainings in 2014.
