💙Schizoaffective disorder had affected Maria for years; it made it hard for her to keep a job, manage her mood, and socially engage with friends and family. 2 years ago, she began receiving care at Behavioral Healthcare Partners. Not only was she offered regular therapy sessions, but they helped with symptom, medication, and case management. As a result of the care and support she received from staff, Maria has learned to recognize early warning signs of emerging symptoms, began working part-time in a retail position, and rebuilt relationships with family members.

🤝Your support of United Way of Licking County strengthens BHP’s mission to provide quality care to people just like Maria. Through your contributions, BHP can enrich lives in Licking County so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential, no matter their circumstances.

Mental Health America of Licking County - We are honored to be able to support your mission! 💖

💚 We are grateful for the partners who help make our mission possible!

At Mental Health America of Licking County, we know that meaningful prevention work takes a community. We are incredibly thankful for the continued support of our three major funders: Licking County Foundation, United Way of Licking County, and Mental Health and Recovery for Licking and Knox Counties as well as the individual personal donations we receive regularly from community members.

Because of your support, we can continue providing prevention programming in our schools and throughout our community, helping individuals and families build skills, access resources, and strengthen their mental health before a crisis occurs.

Prevention matters. Early support matters. And having partners who believe in this work makes a lasting difference.

Thank you for continuing to invest in our mission, believing in what we do, and helping us continue to show up for the people of Licking County. We couldn't do this work without you! 💚
