Mental Health Awareness Month is upon us, and what better way to kick it off than with an episode of Keeping Ashland Healthy that dives into the array of services available in Ashland County? Dr. Ashley and the Boss are your guides through this episode, shedding light on crucial programmes designed to tackle mental health and substance use crises.
You'll hear about the efforts of the Mental Health and Recovery Board, which funds numerous initiatives to support the community, including collaborations with neighbouring counties for withdrawal management and residential services. Dr. Ashley shares the importance of understanding withdrawal management, emphasising that it's not just about detox – it's about medically managing a challenging process.
The episode explores why these services aren't offered directly within Ashland County but assures residents that high-quality care is accessible nearby, thanks to partnerships with Richland County. Veterans in Ashland County have a unique peer programme called the Landing Zone, where camaraderie flourishes over coffee and doughnuts. It's a space for veterans to support each other through shared experiences, proving that sometimes the best therapy comes from those who truly understand.
As May rolls in, Mental Health Awareness Month brings with it events like the Senior Health Fair and the 33 Forever Birthday Walk. Dr. Ashley also touches on Safe Haven's Run with the Stars 5K, a delightful event where running is optional but supporting domestic violence survivors is paramount.
Whether you're a resident seeking support or someone interested in community health initiatives, this episode offers a comprehensive look at how Ashland County is working to keep its citizens healthy and informed. Dive into this enlightening discussion – you might just find the inspiration you need.
