The Commissioners of Darke, Miami and Shelby Counties and the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services have adopted resolutions to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Read the full text of the Board's resolution here...

The theme of Mental Health Awareness Month 2023 as established by Mental Health America is "Look Around, Look Within," emphasizing the importance of our environment to mental health, and reminding us to be mindful of how our surroundings are affecting our mood.

In addition to numerous health and information fairs in May and continuing throughout the summer, the Tri-County Board has partnered with Miami County Court of Common Pleas Judge Stacy Wall to set up a display at the Miami County Safety Building to recognize the Mental Health Court specialty docket.

Tri-County Board staff are also delivering packets of mental health-related books to public libraries in all three counties, and are delivering packets of pens and information to restaurants with table service wait staffs. "Food service and hospitality work can be stressful, and servers may encounter persons struggling with mental health or substance use concerns, so we wanted to support them in some way," said Brad Reed, Tri-County Board Director of Community Engagement, "and servers always need pens!"

The pens feature the Tri-County Crisis Hotline number 800-351-7347, and the national Crisis Text Line 741741. The packets also include cards with the Hotline and Text Line numbers plus the web address for a comprehensive directory of local resources, The pens, cards and the pouches they are packaged in were paid for with grant funds from the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities to promote the use of the Crisis Text Line.

​Twenty three law enforcement officers from Miami, Darke and Shelby Counties attended the Tri-County Crisis Intervention Team Academy for Law Enforcement Professionals April 24-27 2023.

During the four-day training, officers hear from a variety of professionals who work with persons with mental illness, substance use disorders and other special populations. Officers learn techniques for safely engaging with special populations and learn about resources available in the community with the goal of getting people the help they need and prevent unnecessary incarceration or other legal matters,

The December 2023 Academy is the 22nd class in 18 years of the Tri-County Board's program. The training is held at the Tri-County Administration & Training Center at 1280 N. County Road 25A, Troy. More than 395 officers have completed the Tri-County CIT Academy, with more than 250 still active on local law enforcement rosters.

The officers attending the training were Michaela Clark and Steve Kreitzer, Darke County Sheriff's Office;  Jackie Barton and Matthew Ganiron, Greenville Police Department; Trent Cooper, Micah Karn, Ryan Lavy, and Tabitha Thompson, Miami County Sheriff's Office; Kyle Ingle and Madeline Ruetenik, Piqua Police Department; John Marshall and Brian O'Neal, Troy Police Department; Ben Davis, West Milton Police Department; Tyler Bowman, Brad Boyd, Austin Knight, Bryce Kohler, Madison Pierce, Josie Raterman, Rod Robbins, Seth Sargent, and Branden Schutte, Shelby County Sheriff's Office; and Kiarra Ibarra, Sidney Police Department. Officers in the April 2023 Academy class ranged in experience from less than 1 year to more than 30 years in law enforcement.
