First Responder Summit

In collaboration with the Ohio Fire Academy, Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) would like to invite all first responders to attend a one-day, First Responder Summit: Wellness, Self-Care and Resilience. (Schedule below.)

This online summit will take place on Wednesday, August 26, 2020, from 8:00 am until 4:15 pm.
