Dear friends,
Right now, we stand at a crossroads.
COVID-19 didn't just threaten our hospital and healthcare infrastructure, it seriously hampered our behavioral healthcare systems. There are now fewer places to get mental healthcare services, fewer beds available, and crisis services are experiencing extremely high volumes of requests.
On one side of the crossroads, we can go further down this spiral. We can continue to allow our behavioral healthcare systems to erode and watch as those who need help the most are unable to get it.
On the other side, however, lies a different world. There, youth have the coping mechanisms they need to support and protect themselves and their mental health wellness, parents have the skills and strategies they need to meet the challenges of parenting in an era of COVID-19, and communities have access to the prevention professionals and resources they need to take care of their friends, families, and neighbors.
That better world is within our reach, but it's going to take a lot of work to build that world. Please join us as we build a world where everyone plays their role in prevention.
And with the Big Give coming up , there's never been a better time to join the Prevention Action Alliance. All donations made between 10 a.m. on June 10th and 11 a.m. on June 11th will be amplified by a $1 million+ bonus pool, and all processing fees are waived so 100% of your donation can go to supporting the services we provide for all of Ohio's communities.
