Katherine Cull, Columbus City Neighborhood Liaison, recently visited with Maryhaven to learn more about the services and partnerships on the South Side.

Neighborhood liaisons serve as your direct link to city services and provide support for area commissions.

They are located in Neighborhood Pride Centers in each region of Columbus. Liaisons work with residents, city officials, and civic organizations to empower residents to improve their neighborhoods. 

With over 15 years of impactful experience across nonprofit, government, and community sectors in Columbus, we are so grateful for Katherine taking the time to learn more about Maryhaven’s mission.

She is proven to be a dedicated advocate for community development, known for leveraging partnerships to drive positive change and enhance quality of life.

This week, Maryhaven President Oyauma Garrison spoke at a Steering Committee Meeting at the Columbus City Council on Mental Health in BIPOC communities.

In an effort to break stigmas and create community, Oyauma brought awareness to the important topic, recognizing that 1 in 5 Franklin County adults experience a diagnosable mental health illness.

The BIPOC community in particular is impacted by mental illness, with su***de as the 2nd leading cause of death for Black/African Americans age 15-46.

The good news - conversations like this and support by so many groups, like Maryhaven, in Columbus means there is a reason for hope and healing.

Being able to talk about mental health issues and experiences is the number one sign of resiliency according to the STAR Resiliency Pyramid, and by having more conversations we shatter stigmas about receiving mental health treatments.

Together, we are stronger.
