Gordon Buckner, a Therapist with Recovery & Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio, has been awarded the 2014 Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Award by the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services. The  presentation was made at the Board's Art of Recovery Showcase October 15 at Edison Community College in Piqua.

In presenting the award, Tri-County Board Chairman Jason Wagner cited Buckner's unwavering dedication to his clients through three decades of changes within the mental health and addictions service system.

Buckner, accompanied by his wife, Rosie, accepted the award on behalf of his colleagues at the Recovery & Wellness Centers, and at agencies and organizations throughout the Tri-County system. His emotional acceptance recounted his personal journey in recovery and in helping others manage their behavioral health.

The Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Award is named for the Tri-County Board's first Director of Community Resource Development, and has been presented annually since 2000 to individuals or groups who demonstrate exceptional advocacy in the realm of mental health and addiction issues.
