Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wyando

Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wyando The Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Ottawa, Sandusky, and Wyandot Counties Funds are placed in the county treasury.

The statute that governs the creation, authority and activities of Boards is in Chapter 340 of the Ohio Revised Code. 340 requires Boards to assess community needs, set priorities, and develop plans for the operation of facilities and services. Boards submit an annual plan to the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (ODMHAS), which the Board intends to contract for the services

, how these services will be paid, a statement of the inpatient services the Board proposed ODMH provide, an assessment of the number and types of residential facilities needed, and a budget. Multi-county Boards are taxing authorities, and as such, can levy a tax for the operation of mental health and alcohol and drug addiction programs. Also for the acquisition, construction, renovation, financing, maintenance and operation of such facilities. Boards are required to monitor and evaluate services for cost effectiveness and treatment efficacy. Boards abide by the Ohio Sunshine Law, which include both the Public Records Act and the Open Meetings Act. Boards receive, retain and disclose individually identifiable health information on a regular basis. Therefore, the Board must follow confidentiality laws, both Federal and State. For multi-county Boards, no authority exists for the county prosecuting attorney to represent the Board. Thus, legal counsel for a multi-county Board is secured through private legal counsel. The County Auditor in which the Board is located (if a multi-county Board) is the statutorily-designated fiscal officer of the Board. Payments on the recommendation of the Board are authorized by the County Auditor, who must submit a monthly detailed statement of all receipts, disbursements, and ending balances of Board funds.

We had a great two days at the OACBHA Annual Mental Health and Addictions Conference! Board Members Madison Zimmerman, Markus Finley, and Mimi Burgess-Todd, along with Board staff Nicole Williams and Robin Reaves, and community partner Charlotte Stonerook from Sandusky County Public Health, attended a variety of informative and engaging sessions focused on behavioral health, prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Nicole and Charlotte also had the opportunity to present alongside their COP-RCORP consortium partners on collaborating with rural communities and the importance of building strong partnerships to address local behavioral health needs.

We are grateful for opportunities like this to learn, share, and connect with professionals from across Ohio as we continue working together to strengthen behavioral health services and support the communities we serve.

What an incredible evening we had yesterday!

We are so thankful for the wonderful turnout at the event with Jim Wahlberg. His powerful and inspirational message of recovery, redemption, hope, and second chances truly resonated with so many in attendance.

A huge thank you goes out to the Sandusky County HOPE Court, Judge Welty, and her entire team for their partnership and for all of the work they do to support individuals on their recovery journeys. Their dedication to helping people rebuild their lives and reducing stigma in our community is truly appreciated.

We would also like to thank everyone who attended, supported the event, and helped make the evening such a success. Events like this remind us of the importance of community, compassion, and continuing conversations around mental health and recovery.

Thank you again for being part of such a meaningful night.
