Good afternoon, stakeholders, World Mental Health Day 2023 The Ohio Program for Campus Safety ad Mental Health would like to take a moment and recognize that today, October 10th, 2023, is World Mental Health Day. We believe that good mental health allows us to cope with challenges, connect with others, thrive throughout our lives and is integral to our overall health and well-being. As many of you know, mental health conditions are a significant threat to the overall health of young people. Mental health wellness is fundamental to enjoying a good and meaningful life. It is vital to ensure that everyone can access community mental health services and supports. In particular, access to mental health support and resources in early life can make a real difference to the health and well-being of young people and adults in later life.
