The MHARS Lorain County is excited to be joining the Lorain County Metro Parks with their Hiking Stick Program this year and thank them for helping us make people aware that they are not alone during times of crisis and help is available by calling or texting 988. This program was made possible by a grant from the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA).The Hiking Stick Program is underway at Lorain County Metro Parks, now through June 30.
New this year, in partnership with MHARS Lorain County, the first 200 participants to complete the program will receive a limited-edition Challenge Coin featuring the 988 Crisis Hotline and a Lorain County Metro Parks compass design.
This initiative supports the Lorain County Suicide Prevention Coalition by helping place lifesaving mental health resources directly into the hands of our community. Get outside, explore your parks, and be part of something meaningful.
Complete at least 10 hikes across six different parks and submit your form by July 7 to earn your Hiking Stick metal badge. First-year participants can also select a hiking stick.
