Seniors encouraged to
Use Emotional Support Line and WISE Program
COVID-19 is continuing to
have substantial effects on community members' mental
health, especially seniors. In collaboration with Harbor’s
Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) Program, the
Mental Health Board of Lucas County will be delivering care
packages to seniors in different areas of Lucas County over
the next few months.
The first location for
deliveries will be Kingston Care Center of Sylvania and
Kings Pointe Senior Apartments. Packages will include
resources for the Lucas County Emotional Support Phone Line
and Harbor’s WISE program, handwritten notes from students
at Sylvan Elementary School, and individually-wrapped baked
goods from The Next Sweet Thing located in Mayberry Square.
The Lucas County Emotional
Support line was created by the MHRSB in March 2020 to help
those who need a listening ear. The support line is
available 7-days a week from 8-12 a.m.
Please contact Morgan
Gabrielson at mgabrielson@lcmhrsb.oh.gov for any additional
information.

over 50 years, The Mental Health and Recovery Services Board
(MHRSB) was established to serve the behavioral health needs
of Lucas County residents. The MHRSB is an integrated
behavioral health services planning and monitoring
organization responsible for planning, funding, monitoring,

and addiction recovery services. Those services are
