Over the next couple of weeks, the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities will be conducting both a phone and an electronic survey as a prelude to the kick off of the Of-1-MIND campaign to gather opinions about mental illness and substance abuse. The results from the brief survey will be used to help guide the Of-1-MIND campaign that will be launched January 26, 2010. Please take a moment to complete the survey at http://Survey.of-1-mind.org. Also, please share this survey with your friends and contacts. We would like to get as many people as possible to complete the survey over the next 3 weeks, then the data will be analyzed, and the results will be shared.
The goal of the Of-1-MIND campaign is to – empower individuals and professionals to become active in the fight against stigma, and promote access and funding for alcohol, drug addiction and/or mental health services and supports.
Our plan is to mobilize Ohioans to become advocates active in the fight to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and addiction. In addition, the campaign will educate Ohio’s citizens, decision makers and local leaders on addiction and mental illness, and the fact that TREATMENT WORKS AND PEOPLE RECOVER.
For additional information the Of-1-MIND website is live at www.of-1-mind.org. This website will provide more information about the campaign and in the future will have ongoing updates about campaign activities.
