Anazao Community Partners

What Anazao Community Partners does

Anazao Community Partners is a nonprofit behavioral health agency serving Wayne and Holmes Counties in Ohio, founded in 1935 and operating from offices in Wooster (East and West) and Millersburg. The organization delivers a unified portfolio of six core programs — Access (intake and triage with a stated three-day assessment target), Prevention, Specialized Outpatient (EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, SFBT, Motivational Interviewing), School-Based, Adult & Vocational Services, and Reentry — plus a cross-cutting Community Psychiatric Supports and Treatment (CPST) service and a Bridge-to-Care supplementary resource product. Its underlying technology stack is modest: a secure telehealth video platform for remote sessions and the DLA-20 (Daily Living Activities-20) standardized assessment tool integrated into treatment planning across providers. No proprietary software, APIs, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The organization's business model is a hybrid of Medicaid reimbursement, private insurance acceptance, and sliding-scale fees, supplemented by grant and county-level public funding from The Mental Health and Recovery Board of Wayne and Holmes Counties, United Way of Wayne and Holmes Counties, the Holmes Department of Jobs and Family Services, and the OneOhio Recovery Foundation. Go-to-market is community- and referral-led: school guidance counselors, community partners, and a 24-hour crisis line route individuals into the Access program, which then triages to the appropriate service line. Eight named school district partners (Wooster City, Chippewa, Norwayne, West Holmes, Northwestern, Hiland, Rittman Academy, Liberty Prep) anchor the school-based channel, and a 2026 NAMI partnership is extending service scope to include peer-support groups on a planned Wellness Campus.
