Great day for LGBTQIA + community on the Oberlin College campus. The month of June welcomes Pride Month in the United States. The celebration of Pride symbolizes the recognition, inclusion, and vitality of LGBTQIA+ individuals. The Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Board of Lorain County supports access to services for all community members and understands the impact that support, inclusion, and empathy can have.
Glad to see our partners from Applewood and Colors + Counseling ( among others) helping those who are looking for support.
The MHARS Board is a proud member of the Lorain County Suicide Prevention Coalition, which today, invited families and community members to a free fishing event focused on mental wellness, community connection, and suicide prevention awareness. The event was open to all ages and skill levels, with fishing equipment, instruction, and activities provided at no cost. And FREE ICE CREAM!
Sponsors: Life Side Ohio, Lorain County Suicide Prevention Coalition, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation, the city of Lorain and the Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Board of Lorain County.
Thanks to all who participated.
