Ms. Cutsinger is the outreach specialist for the North Central Missouri Mental Health Center and told about services offered. The center provides serves at seven offices located in nine counties. She said that mental health struggles have become a focus nationwide, with 46 percent of teens, 19 percent of adults and 13 percent of children having some type of mental health issue, with only about 50 percent actually seeking treatment. NCMMHC serves individuals ages five and older and offers services such as psychiatric evaluation/ medication, home health care, therapy, case management, substance use disorder and integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders. The center also has classes for smoking cessation, wellness coaching, parenting, anger management and domestic violence. She also reviewed several crisis lines available to the public to help them access mental health services, including the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, CommCare, the Text Crisis Line and the AgriStress Hotline.
During the business meeting, Mrs. Soptic shared several pieces of information from Rotary District 6040, including the combined district governor visit for clubs at Trenton, Brookfield, Marceline and Chillicothe, which will be held on Sept. 14 at Brookfield, and the “Bring
Someone Back to Rotary” attendance challenge. Members are being asked to bring food items to meetings for the Bright Futures Trenton Food Pals Program or make a monetary donation. The club’s annual fish fry will be held on Sept. 16 at the Rock Barn with both curbside and sit down meals available. More information will be made available later.
