We’re honored to be highlighted as a spotlight sponsor for the upcoming 2026 Central Ohio Mental Health Professionals Conference on Friday, May 15th, hosted by Teal Saguaro Wellness.

A big thank you to Kaela Vance, LPCC-S for the feature and for the work she’s doing to bring together professionals who are deeply committed to improving mental health care across our community.

At Sun Behavioral Health, we’re passionate about supporting individuals at every stage of their mental health journey and collaborating with partners who share that same mission. Events like this create space for connection, education, and meaningful impact—and we’re proud to be part of it.

We’re looking forward to being there, connecting with fellow providers, and continuing to support the important work happening across Central Ohio.

Honored to attend the 2026 Heartland High School’s “2026 Heartland of Hope” Annual Luncheon today in Columbus.

Hearing the stories and perspectives shared by today’s speakers was incredibly powerful. It was real, honest, and a reminder of why this work matters so deeply. Their voices highlighted both the challenges and the hope that exist within the recovery journey for young people.

Heartland High School continues to create a space where students are not defined by their struggles, but supported through them with education, accountability, and compassion at the center.

Today was a reminder that recovery is possible, especially when community shows up!

Our Adolescent PHP program will be celebrating Spring Break with a week of therapeutic, creativity-based activities designed to promote self-expression, relaxation, and positive coping skills.
Throughout the week, patients will participate in hands-on projects such as tie-dye bandana design, succulent planting, yoga and painting, birdhouse decorating, and creating SUN catchers and wind chimes. These activities encourage mindfulness, creativity, and a sense of accomplishment while also supporting social connection and emotional wellness. Each activity incorporates therapeutic themes such as growth, self-expression, and calming practices to reinforce skills patients can continue using outside of treatment.
