The 92-day span of March, April, and May represents Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, Autism Acceptance Month, and Mental Health Awareness Month. For families of multisystem youth (MSY), however, navigating complex needs is a daily reality.

While progress has been made in youth mental health, more work remains. We must reach more families, secure sustainable funding, and ensure no MSY family struggles in silence.

In partnership with the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health and the Ohio Department of Medicaid, we are joining the movement to help ensure every MSY family is seen, heard, and supported.

Together, we can help families across our state get the care they deserve.

It's ! 🧠

Neurodiversity reminds us that there isn't only one way to think, learn, or solve problems in life.

In classrooms and workplaces across Ohio, neurodiverse individuals bring creativity, innovation, and unique perspectives that strengthen our teams and communities. Everyone benefits when schools and employers embrace neurodiversity through actions and resources like disability-inclusive learning environments, flexible workplaces, and accessible communication.

At OOD, we're proud to support neurodiverse Ohioans as they pursue education, careers, and independence. ❤️
