Ohio is making it easier for individuals who are experiencing a stressful situation to find immediate help, 24/7 with the launch of a free, confidential, statewide Crisis Text Line. Any Ohio resident who needs help coping with a crisis can now text the keyword “4hope” to 741741 to be connected to a crisis counselor. Specialists are on stand-by to provide a personal response and information on a range of issues, including: suicidal thoughts, bullying, depression, self-harm, and more. The specialist helps the user stay safe and healthy with effective, secure support. The crisis text line is funded by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.
All of us know someone whose life has been impacted by a mental health or substance use issue. In fact, one out of four Americans will experience a mental health concern during his or her lifetime. Mental illnesses cannot be overcome through willpower and are not related to a person's character or intelligence. They are medical conditions that disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, mood, daily functioning and ability to relate to others.
Addiction, also known as substance use disorders, involves craving for something intensely, loss of control over its use, and continuing involvement with it despite adverse consequences. People with a substance use disorder experience changes to the brain that impact the way it experiences pleasure, learning and motivation. Nearly one in seven Americans currently experience a substance use disorder.
Fortunately, there is hope and help for people, thanks to the Trumbull County Mental Health and Recovery Board and its partner agencies.
