Summer 2024 Newsletter
Message from the President/CEO and Chair of the Board
In 1923, Central Clinic Behavioral Health (CCBH) was awarded a $30,000 grant from the Community Chest, now known as United Way. This investment launched the first mental health nonprofit serving both children and adults in the State of Ohio – our organization.
June 2024 marked the beginning of Central Clinic Behavioral Health’s 101st year. We are known for pioneering services that meet the unique cultural needs of specialized populations across our community. Our century-long commitment to meeting the needs of the community has had a lasting impact, offering a foundation for launching innovative services. Our philosophy to build programs that consider intricacies and identify options to overcome barriers supports our clients in their path of healing, recovery and resiliency. This same philosophy is being carried forward into our 101st year with a newfound excitement.
Remarkable things can happen during times of transition. Fresh enthusiasm has ignited thoughtful contemplation of possibilities. We are connecting with others and thinking outside the box for ways to modernize and enhance our reputation for being a leader in behavioral health. Together we are making things happen! Two new programs are being piloted: one that seeks to address bed shortages at the regional state hospital and the other tailored to meet the needs of individuals over the age of 60.
