Ohio Needs MHFA:
Advocate to
Bring It Back!
The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) has removed MHFA training from its budget, ending five years of vital support.
Why It Matters- The Demand is Still Growing Even After 30,000 Trained
→ Our teen and older adult programs are at full capacity.
→ Over 1,200 people are on a waiting list for training.
→ Colleges have been limited to just five classes due to budget constraints.
What’s at Risk
Without funding, we lose momentum in building a statewide network of trained mental health responders.
A Path Forward
We value our partnership with OhioMHAS and believe even partial funding can help us continue serving those who need MHFA most.
Please join us in advocating for MHFA support!
Step One
