Jessica's Garden over at our Wellness & Recovery Center is really taking off! They've already used some of the lettuce and herbs for guest meals - we're hoping they'll bring some Fried Green Tomatoes over to the main office! 😉

We are so grateful to have her on our team as she always brings good energy and insight, and works her hardest to make our program the best it can be. She has a huge heart! (and she cooks delicious food) 😋

June is Pride Month!

Despite advances in individual-level treatment strategies, school-based programs, and state-level policies that address LGBTQ mental health, there remains a critical gap in large-scale evidence-based prevention and intervention programs designed to support the positive development and mental health of LGBTQ youth, and in turn, adults (Fish, 2020).

Fortunately, Pride is not only about celebrating our differences & our love, but also a reminder to advocate for ourselves and others so gaps like these can become smaller.

If you or someone you know needs to talk, our peers are here as self-identified LGBTQ+ members and allies. Give us a call between 8am and Midnight at (419) 442-0580

📣Mental Health is Health📣

We have been seeing countless posts about the impact that yesterday's events have had on each individual person.

If you or someone you know needs a safe space to talk - we are here, we feel it too.❤️

"An experience of collective pain does not deliver us from grief or sadness; it is a ministry of presence. These moments remind us that we are not alone in our darkness and that our broken heart is connected to every heart that has known pain since the beginning of time." - Brene Brown

Another post for Mental Health Awareness Month!

What does Mental Health mean to you? 🤔

And don't you ever doubt it! 🌱

In case you haven't heard, May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Everyone has Mental Health. It is an essential part of the wellbeing of our entire bodies and lives. Normalizing taking care of our Mental Health provides us with the opportunity to receive early intervention for mental illness, creates a sense of empowerment rather than shame, educates us on signs of mental health decline so we can recognize it both in ourselves and in others, and promotes equality between physical and invisible illnesses.

Drug take back day is tomorrow! You can drop off unused or unwanted meds while picking up free narcan at the health department tomorrow from 10-2! 🥰

Look for the big narcan van!

Neighborhood Properties Inc. supports Issue 3 and our Lucas County Mental Health community. Voting 'Yes' to renew this tax will provide funds to continue and expand much needed programs for mental health and addiction services in the Toledo area.

Vote 'Yes' on Tuesday, May 3rd, for Toledo Issue 3! 🌻

Neighborhood Properties has been a proud member of the 419 community since our introduction in 1988!

This quote seems to be speaking of relationships with other people, but by taking a closer look, we see that 'someone' can easily be replaced with 'something'.

Addiction and some other mental illnesses can become a part of us. They disguise themselves as protectors and friends. For those reasons, sometimes we can miss them, and that's okay.

We just have to remember that they take more than they give.

The thing about mistakes is - they never feel good. They tell us we aren't good enough, smart enough, or that we are undeserving.

They lie to us.

The truth is that making mistakes is necessary for us to become the best person we can be. They provide us with direction. They remind us there is still more work to be done. And when we make the same mistake over and over, it just means we aren't ready for what it's trying to teach us yet, and that is okay. As long as we are trying, we are still moving forward.
