While our staff take time to rest and restore this holiday season, ACP will be operating with some reductions over the days surrounding the holidays.

Some staff will still be operating within our offices and we will do our best to continue to serve you and answer your calls. Please outreach to our main office number for support. On days not listed below our offices will be operating per usual.

Thank You and Happy Holidays!

Home for the Holidays: A Real Recovery Win ❤️🏠

This is "The Good Stuff." As we head into the holiday season, we want to share a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

A resident at OneEighty, Inc. Recovery Housing recently achieved what seemed impossible not long ago. Through sheer hard work and determination, she didn’t just find recovery, she rebuilt her life. She secured a job, earned her license, bought a car, and moved into her own independent housing.

But the biggest gift of all? She regained custody of her daughter. This Christmas, she won't just be celebrating; she will be celebrating in her own home with her child.

We are incredibly proud to fund partners like OneEighty who walk alongside neighbors on their journey to wellness. To the residents of Wayne and Holmes Counties: Your support and levy dollars help make reunions like this possible.

Gratitude changes everything— not the laundry, not the drama, but the way we see it.

At Anazao, we’re grateful for…
🧡 The kids who show up brave every week
🧡 The families who choose connection over perfection
🧡 The teachers and Community Care Workers who care deeply
🧡 And the Wayne and Holmes County communities that remind us that healing happens together.

Thank you for being part of this work!

Share one thing you’re grateful for in the comments.

Let’s be honest, the holidays aren’t always merry and bright. 🎄Between turkeys, travel, and tangled lights, sometimes it’s more “silent scream” than “silent night.” 😅

Kids feel that stress too. They pick up on the hustle, the changes, the sugar rush. So this season, let’s give them (and ourselves) a little more calm and connection.

Our therapists are here to help kids (and parents) keep their cool from Thanksgiving through Christmas, and beyond. Spoiler: It doesn’t require matching pajamas or a perfect tree. 😉

As a youth-serving organization, we see every week how access barriers impact adolescents’ mental health. ORC 5122.04 is a small but essential protection that allows a young person to receive short-term support when parental consent is unavailable or unsafe.

HB 172 would remove this access point entirely.

Our team is monitoring the bill closely because of its direct implications for the youth we serve across Wayne and Holmes Counties. I encourage anyone who works with or cares about young people to review NASW’s alert and contact your legislators to oppose HB 172. Your voice matters in safeguarding timely, life-stabilizing mental-health access for vulnerable adolescents.

Thank You, Team — and Community!

Our staff recently came together to fill the shelves of Anazao’s Caring Closets with generous grocery donations — and the results were inspiring!

Thanks to everyone’s contributions, we were able to:
- Stock Caring Closets at both Wooster offices (with more items heading to our Millersburg office this week)
- Assemble “Meal Bags” with enough to feed two to four people
- Donate remaining items to local shelters, extending the impact even further

These small acts of generosity make a big difference for our clients and community. 🩵

If you or someone you know could use a little extra help:
- You’re welcome to take what you need directly from the Caring Closets at our East and West offices.
- If a Meal Bag would help, simply ask an Anazao partner — we’ll gladly make sure one gets to you.

As colder months approach, we hope to keep our Caring Closets stocked and available for anyone in need. If you’d like to help, we’re gratefully accepting donations of shelf-stable foods — canned soups, pasta, peanut butter, cereals, and similar items are especially appreciated.

Donations can be dropped off at any Anazao office during regular hours. Together, we can help keep our community well this winter.
