Congratulations to our Chief Strategy and Performance Officer, Clare Rosser, who was recognized as a 2024 Woman of Inspiration by the Universal Women’s Network!

Now in its ninth year, the Women of Inspiration Awards honors the accomplishments of women in various industries across North America, highlighting their positive influence in the workplace, community, and network.

Making strides in Ohio! We've implemented a groundbreaking, comprehensive strategy against substance misuse, leading to a decline in overdose deaths for two consecutive years. Yet, there's more to do. We're thrilled to share Governor Mike DeWine's announcement of an additional $100 million funding to continue protecting families from the destructive effects of opioids. Join us on this journey. ???? https://bit.ly/4fImY98

We're still thinking about Roads to Recovery! This year’s conference was an incredible opportunity to learn from some of the best thought leaders on the subject of mental and behavioral health. In case you missed it, we’ve compiled all 30 of the session presentations for you to view and share. Head to our website for more info.

Thanks to everyone who attended Roads to Recovery 2024! We had over 30 sessions led by 40 presenters, keynote and plenary speakers, a marketplace full of helpful resources and more. Clients, professionals, caregivers and advocates came together to learn and discover ways we can positively impact the behavioral health landscape in Cuyahoga County and beyond. Roads to Recovery wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing ADAMHS Board staff, along with our co-sponsors and marketplace sponsors. See you in 2026! #mentalhealth #cuyahogacounty #harmreduction
