MHAOhio supports our community by guiding people in need of mental health services to the appropriate providers as well as providing services that may not otherwise be accessible. We work with individuals and their families through each step on their paths to wellness, from making initial referrals, to providing free mental health services, to helping maintain stability and productivity once it is achieved.
We provide the following services to those seeking help:
Pro Bono Counseling Program
Links volunteer mental health professionals with those who need but cannot afford mental health counseling. Licensed mental health professionals provide short-term counseling at no cost.
Get Connected Program
Links callers with an experienced mental health professional who can act as an advocate for clients by listening to concerns and helping to find solutions.
Family Advocate Program
Connects family members and loved ones of persons living with a mental illness to peer volunteers. Volunteers use their own lived experience and knowledge of the local mental health care system to help families find solutions.
