Lima Senior staff that has been trained as group facilitators by the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board will begin support groups for students next week in an effort to reach out to students in need of help. Family Resource Centers' staff will be providing assistance as the groups start up. This is an excellent partnership between the schools and the community mental health provider. This is the kind of collaboration that really saves lives.
Lima City Schools and the We Care People Providers are also teaming up to develop a comprehensive and targeted effort to reach students and their families who need mental health or substance abuse treatment. Early intervention will mean that these young people and their families will have a chance at living full lives that contribute to the well being and happiness of the whole community.
Congratulations to all concerned.
Mike Schoenhofer
