Wapakoneta has a new Family Resource Center on North Pine Street. Staff from the Family Resource Center: Wapakoneta Campus will be at this week’s Auglaize County Fair, and Friday from 11 to 1, 92.1 The Frog will be there with them. There’s a demand for behavioral health services in rural Ohio, and Family Resource Center is here to help with mental health, substance abuse, and more. Come learn how they can help you and your family.
“Family Resource Center is excited to be a part of the solution in addressing the increased demand for
behavioral health services in rural Ohio,” said Jodi Knouff, Director of the Community Mental Health Clinic
Project at Family Resource Center. “We will serve these communities through a system of care approach by
collaborating with natural supports and community partners to meet the needs of those who are struggling
with life’s challenges.”
Outpatient Counseling via Telehealth, Case Management, and Transitional Age Youth Services are available
now through Family Resource Center’s locations, and the organization plans to add additional support groups
and services in the future.
The expansion of Family Resource Center is a result of the organization being awarded a $5 million grant
through the Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration in late 2021, and follows the successful
implementation of similar programming in Findlay, Lima, Kenton, Sidney, and St. Marys over the last several
years.
Additional Family Resource Center Community Mental Health Clinics will open in Troy, Ohio in late July, and
Fostoria, Ohio in the coming months.
