CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Mental health and substance abuse are big issues in Stark County.
And now StarkMHAR has been approved for a three-year grant totaling $600,000, and plans for the funding are already laid out.
The money from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will be used for Crisis Intervention Training for first responders.
Also, educational campaigns are planned for the recently-opened Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center, located at the former Stark Crisis Center on 13th Street NW in Canton.
The facility provides immediate support for those dealing with a mental health or substance abuse crisis.
