“With 1 in 5 Americans living with a mental health condition, it is imperative that we bring awareness to these issues by talking openly with our friends, families, and neighbors about how and where they can find the support and services they need,” says Sheriff Streck.
The Sheriff’s Office, Haven, and the Dayton Vet Center mobile unit will be distributing information on local resources and how to best start conversations with loved ones on improving mental health.
