March is National Social Work Month 💙 Social Workers: Uplift. Defend. Transform.

This year’s 2026 theme honors the heart of social work which is enhancing human well-being, meeting basic needs, and empowering those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. Social workers are needed more than ever. From addressing the ongoing mental health crisis to advocating for equitable access to care and essential safety-net programs, social workers stand on the front lines every day supporting individuals, strengthening families, and uniting communities.

This month, we celebrate the compassion, courage, and commitment of our six social workers! Thank you for the work you do to defend dignity, foster hope, and create lasting change! 💙

Take a moment to thank the social workers in your life!

Happy Ohio Statehood Day 2026! ❤️🤍💙 On March 1, 1803, Ohio became the 17th state in the Union! From agriculture to aviation, civil rights to space exploration, Ohio’s story is deeply woven into the heart of America.

The Great Seal of Ohio, established in 1803, is rich with symbolism: a rising sun with 13 rays honors the original thirteen colonies, the sun rising over the mountains marks Ohio as the first state west of the Alleghenies, a sheaf of wheat represents agriculture and bounty, and a bundle of 17 arrows symbolizes both Ohio’s Native American heritage and our place as the 17th state.

Ohio’s flag isn’t technically a flag, it’s a burgee! Designed by John Eisemann and adopted in 1902, it’s the only non-rectangular state flag in the U.S.

Ohio has always been a state of innovators and trailblazers:
🚑 The first ambulance service began in Cincinnati (1865).
🚦 Cleveland installed America’s first traffic light (1914).
✈️ The Wright brothers of Dayton invented the first airplane.
🌕 Neil Armstrong of Wapakoneta became the first man on the moon.
🚀 John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth.
⚾ The Cincinnati Reds were the first professional baseball team.

Ohio is also the birthplace of seven U.S. Presidents, including: Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William H. Taft, and Warren G. Harding.

And that’s just the beginning! Today we celebrate our heritage, our progress, and the enduring spirit that connects Ohio to the heart of the nation.

Here’s to 223+ years of bold ideas, brave leadership, and Buckeye pride! And to the innovations still to come.

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
― Christian D. Larson, Your Forces and How to Use Them

Happy Optimism Day! ❤

Peer-based recovery support connects people who get it!

Peer support is built on mutuality and connection through shared stories, lived experience, and real hope for recovery. When someone who has walked a similar path walks alongside you, it creates a level of acceptance, understanding, and validation that’s truly powerful. Peer supporters share their lived experience, offer practical guidance, and help individuals set goals, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward a self-directed, fulfilling life.

What do peer supporters do? They...
- Inspire hope and remind people that recovery is possible
- Walk alongside individuals on their recovery journeys
- Dispel myths about mental health and substance use disorders
- Provide education, tools, and connections to resources
- Help people identify their goals, hopes, and dreams and create a roadmap to get there.

Research shows peer support can increase self-esteem, empowerment, hope, engagement in wellness, and social connection while reducing substance use, depression, and hospitalizations.

At Mares Cares Counseling, we are proud to have three incredible peer supporters ready to walk with you. If you or someone you love could benefit from peer support, don’t be afraid to reach out. Support is here. 💙

Strengthening in Difficult Times.

01/13/2026

There are multiple pathways to recovery: clinical care, community support, therapy, and self-management. What matters most is finding what works for you. This month, find your path!

Whole-person care saves lives. Effective treatment of substance use disorders can include counseling and recovery supports. If you or someone you care about is on a journey to recovery, reach out. We're here to help and walk with you.

January is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, a time to recognize hope, healing, and the power of support. 💙

Small steps lead to big changes. This New Year, focus on one day at a time. Every day is a new opportunity to make healthier decisions. Recovery isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress.

If you or someone you know needs support, help is available. Mares Cares Counseling offers peer support services rooted in compassion, understanding, and lived experience. You don’t have to do this alone. Reach out because we’re here to walk alongside you.
