CARE from page 1 were part of the planning process, serving on steering committees and work groups that carefully evaluated needs and made recommendations. Participants included mental health and addiction service providers, hospitals, law enforcement, advocacy organizations, and most importantly, individuals and families who have experienced a mental health or addiction crisis.”

The two-level,72,000-sq.-ft. facility benefits from tremendous collaborative support in its planning and has received funding from various institutions and donors.

Financial backing includes federal, state, county and city support. An advisory council continues to provide feedback and guidance to ADAMH and the project team during the development of the center.

“Franklin County’s challenges with mental health and addiction mirror many communities and the pandemic served to amplify those needs,” said Thomas. “ADAMH and our partners believe we should have the same priority for mental health as physical health, because a healthy community benefits us all.” see CARE page 4
