Essential Behavioral Health Programs Delivered in Geauga County

Geauga County is primarily rural, which poses many significant challenges for those experiencing mental illness or addiction. A few barriers that are detrimental to those needing life-saving behavioral health support are transportation, isolation, and homelessness. To confront these barriers, we provide a broad spectrum of programming, including many home and community-based services to adults, children, and families. Our team annually offers mental health and addiction treatment services to over 4,000 clients.

Our services emphasize addressing behavioral health needs across the entire lifespan of children, teens, adults, and the elderly. We focus on family, friends, and community support networks as a feature of planned services, with a specific emphasis on a recovery perspective in our treatment approach to mental illness and substance use disorders. An understanding of and sensitivity to cultural influences and diversity characterize all services.

Same-Day Access to Care is available, and walk-ins are accepted during business hours. Individuals will leave with the necessary resources to cope with whatever they face until they have their first appointment with a clinician. COPELINE, a 24-hour mental health and addiction crisis hotline, is available to all Geauga County residents at 1-888285-5665 at any time. Ravenwood Team members chair the Geauga County Suicide Prevention Coalition by providing prevention strategies to anyone in need, and actively participate in the Opiate HUB which is comprehensive treatment for those struggling with opioid addiction.

During the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, a need was expressed. Ravenwood Health jumped into action with more intensive crisis support services and the ability to deliver care in new and proactive ways, including Telehealth. Out of this has come the ability to provide both hybrid in-person and ongoing Telehealth Services. We strive to be responsive to our clients’ community needs and specifications. It is our goal to enhance the ongoing client experience.

Active steps include: • Ensuring all staff members are trained in and practicing trauma-informed care. • Ensuring that staff provides high-quality care. • Exploring and implementing services that best fit our client’s needs. • Ensuring services that promote equity and inclusion.

Ravenwood Health embraces the concept of a Recovery Oriented System of Care. While we provide traditional services, such as psychiatry and counseling, we also offer other essential services such as employment, housing, and social recreation. Combined, this provides needed services designed to facilitate our clients’ recoveries:

• Supported Employment • The John Murray Center (Social /

Recreation for Adults) • Recovery Housing • Specialized Housing Program for adults and children experiencing significant behavioral health concerns. Our clinical and administrative team, including full and part-time employees, has grown to about 180, with an annual budget of nearly $12 million. Ravenwood Health accepts private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay clients. A sliding-fee scale is available to qualified Geauga County residents. We are a nonprofit organization receiving funding from the Geauga County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services, the United Way Services of Geauga County, and many other foundations, corporations, and individuals. Because of our very generous community, we can provide everyone with mental health and addiction services, regardless of their ability to pay.

For nearly six decades, we continue to hear from friends and family who have been positively impacted by our programs, whether personally or by someone they know. We are proud to have the opportunity to serve this wonderful community and look forward to another 56 years in Geauga County.

Ravenwood Health has recently been awarded participation in the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. A new three-digit dialing code – 988 – has been designated, and is available to everyone across the United States, beginning on July 16, 2022.

When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained responders that are part of the existing network. Our organization is within this network of clinical providers, and will receive these calls, ready to listen, understand, provide, and connect, clients as necessary.

The Lifeline’s network of over 200 crisis centers has been in operation since 2005 and has been proven effective.

It’s the counselors at local crisis centers who answer the Lifeline every day. Numerous studies have shown that callers feel less suicidal, less 988 depressed, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful after speaking with a Lifeline counselor.
