Lori Criss, Director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (Ohio MHAS), reviews why they funded MHFA for organizations and individuals who serve minorities, faith-based, older adults, youth aged 12-21, Peer Recovery Supporters and First Responders in Ohio. She explains why MHFA is so important, especially now, and how to find out more about training your organization at no cost.

2023 Ohio MHFA Summit Highlight Video
In September, Mental Health First Aiders, Instructors, MHFA hosts, and advocates from around Ohio met at the Columbus Zoo to hone their MHFA skills, celebrate the year's successes, and look toward the future as more people become trained in MHFA. We are so grateful to all those who came to the Summit and are taking what they learned back to their communities.
Meet our team of mental health recovery advocates, ready to bring education and awareness to your communities.
