Welcome To Cincinnati's

BECAUSE YOUR MIND MEANS EVERYTHING
Alt Text

Welcome to Cincinnati’s first free community mental wellness portal, a partnership with the City of Cincinnati and a first in the nation.

Nearly one in every five Americans struggles with some kind of mental illness, and many with more than one. Millions more struggle to support family members and loved ones with mental illness, and often at the cost of their own mental health.

Factor in a global health pandemic and enormous social unrest, and little surprise that we might all be feeling the extra weight of stress and worry.

But help is out there, much of it self-help, and this important new portal will be your guide. Learn more about the resources available from the City of Cincinnati’s Health Department.

COULD VOLUNTEERING BE THE BEST THING FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH?

Neuroscientists have identified dozens of ways that we can improve our mental health and brain health, and through little more than changing the way we think.

Volunteering can help trigger most of these mental health benefits.
