Our offices are closed today and tomorrow in observance of the holiday. We will reopen on Monday, Nov. 28.
As we reflect on all for which there is to be grateful on this occasion, we thank you - Lorain County - for supporting the mental health and recovery levy renewal earlier this month. We also say a special thanks to all those who volunteered their time to help with its passage.
We also know that the holidays can be a difficult time for some. Our "Coping with the Holidays" guide has a number of important resources that can help. Check it out at mharslc.org/blog/coping-with-the-holidays/
✨ Issue 9, the Lorain County Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Renewal Levy Passes with Overwhelming Support from Voters ✨
Voters have approved a renewal of a five-year Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Levy in Lorain County to ensure that families continue to have access to mental health crisis options in emergencies, treatment and prevention programs for children and adults, and addiction recovery services.
“We would like to thank all residents in Lorain County for showing their support of evidenced based prevention and treatment services,” said Michael Doud, Executive Director. “The passage of this levy allows the Board to reinforce a strategic plan to best utilize service delivery today and provides hope for tomorrow. We are committed to meeting the recovery needs of our service area with evidence-based programming that will strengthen our community and individuals in need of mental health care. This YES vote allows us to better provide for those in need.”
The Board would like to thank our coalition of providers, our partners, and community volunteers. On behalf of the nearly 16,000 Lorain County residents who receive mental health and recovery services across our health network, we would especially like to thank the voters for their continued support.
“The Board and staff are very grateful to the community for their belief in the work and services the Mental Health, Addiction & Recovery Services Board does in Lorain County,” said Board Chair Dan Urbin.
