Governor declares March Problem Gambling Awareness Month

2/27/2014

 
As March approaches, Ohioans look forward to warm weather, St. Patrick’s Day, and filling out their March Madness brackets.  Few realize that March is also known for another important reason: it’s Problem Gambling Awareness Month.  Gambling opportunities have grown in Ohio with four new casinos and new racinos (race tracks with video lottery terminals) opening across the state.  March is dedicated by Governor John R. Kasich as Ohio’s Problem Gambling Awareness Month.

In Darke, Miami and Shelby counties, the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services and its partner agencies have joined the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) in sharing information so that community residents, parents and  young people understand what responsible gambling looks like and what to do when gambling stops being fun and starts to become a problem.

What are some signs of problem gambling?

Deadly heroin confirmed in Greenville

WHIO reports that Greenville (Ohio) Police have found heroin laced with powerful pain medication fentanyl, a combination which has proved deadly.

The story reports that the sample was tested by the Miami Valley Regional Crime Laboratory as part of a Greenville police investigation. Fentanyl is a drug often prescribed as management for patients in late stages of cancer. Non-prescription use, or in combination with other opioids such as heroin, can cause death

Greenville police ask that any tips about illicit drug activity in the city be directed to Greenville Police, 937-548-4150 (press option 2).

SAMHSA Resource Guide for Mayors

2/7/2014

 
Preventing, treating, and supporting recovery from behavioral health problems is essential for communities to be healthy, safe, and successful. Mayors and municipal leaders – in partnership with the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services - have an important role in providing leadership and support for their community's behavioral health needs.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has released "Mayors' Resource Guide on Behavioral Health Issues." The guide, together with the Tri-County Board's 2014-2016 Strategic Plan, helps ensure that mayors and municipal leaders have the information they need to address the behavioral health needs of their community's children, adults, and families.
