Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) Assessment

Make your voice heard. People across Ohio are taking the ROSC Assessment so that state and local governments can measure mental health and substance use disorder systems of care to help determine what is working and what gaps exist in our communities. We are involved with this important effort to gather information to better serve Fairfield County residents. Please take just 10 minutes to give us your thoughts by no later than July 31, 2018.

Opioid Resources via Text

The opioid epidemic in our country has impacted countless families. Unfortunately, the needs of parents and caregivers are often neglected by mainstream care, and every day more families are turning to us for help and support.
We’d like to introduce you to a way to get customized, mobile messages on your cell phone that provide you with personalized, ongoing support and relevant resources for families struggling with heroin and other opioids.
In other words, parents and caregivers who are concerned with their son’s or daughter’s opioid use can sign up through the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids to receive text messages —informed by parents who have been there themselves — containing evidence-based resources, tips, skills, support and hope. Parents can also text “CHAT” to connect with one of their Parent Helpline Specialists at any time, if and when they’re ready.
