Connect With Others Who Understand
When we’re struggling, it’s helpful to talk to others who’ve been through similar experiences—sometimes it even seems like instant relief to meet people who really “get it.”
MHAOhio sponsors groups in Franklin County and Fairfield County designed to support people struggling directly with various mental health challenges, as well as groups for their families and loved ones.
