Treatment works, people recover, and Ohio is committed to both.

Ohio's mental health system is transforming itself for the future by moving to customer-focused treatment with the expectation of recovery and resiliency. Our future is one where mental health is recognized as an essential part of overall health and people with mental health issues have access to appropriate services, regardless of their location. This shared vision to transform how mental health care is delivered in Ohio will create "A New Day" for everyone involved in the mental health system.

You can help Ohio achieve a new day for persons with mental illness .

As a mental health community stakeholder, you can be an agent for change and transformation. To bring about change we must actively engage others in a dialogue that builds understanding and support for the service delivery transformation we envision. The first step is to share our message with our colleagues, our community, our customers, our elected officials, our healthcare partners, the business community, the general public.anyone who can play a role in helping adults and children with serious mental illness to recover and live, work, learn and participate fully in their communities.

This Web site contains a number of tools and materials to begin the grassroots work of introducing the case for transformation and asking others for their support. These tools provide a powerful means to transform the mental health delivery system in Ohio. Please download the Partner Toolkit and consider how you can use it to create a common understanding and consensus to support mental health services that meet the needs of persons with mental illness.

 Together, we can create "A New Day" for Ohio's mental health system!
