Network of Care

Ohio now has access to a breakthrough Web solution for individuals, families and agencies concerned with mental and emotional wellness. Network of Care for Behavioral Health is an online resource that provides critical information, communication and advocacy tools with a single point of entry. The sites were launched the week of March 19.

Network of Care empowers people with mental illness, their families and service providers by providing online access to comprehensive services available in their community. Ohio is one of 13 states currently operating a local or statewide Network of Care for Mental Health/Behavioral Health. Through a recent opportunity from the Ohio Department of Mental Health's Transformation State Incentive Grant (TSIG), ADAMH/CMH Boards were able to access funding to build Network of Care sites in the counties they serve.
