Today in session, the Commissioners were joined by representatives from several area organizations that work with the Delaware-Morrow Mental Health & Recovery Services Board to promote mental wellness and prevention efforts. Each year, we join in the national campaign to designate May as Mental Health Awareness Month and to end stigmas against those seeking treatment.
