Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board

What Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board does

The Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board (CCMHRB) is a government behavioral-health authority established in 1969 under Ohio Revised Code, headquartered in Batavia, Ohio. It functions as the statutorily designated local mental health and addiction services board for Clermont County, coordinating a county-wide behavioral health system funded by state allocations (33%), federal grants (13%), a local property tax levy (37%), and other sources (17%) totaling approximately $9.1 million in FY2023. CCMHRB does not deliver clinical care directly; instead, it contracts with a network of provider agencies — primarily Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (including its Clermont Recovery Center division) and Child Focus, supplemented by Hope Community Center and NAMI Southwest Ohio — to deliver mental health treatment, addiction services, psychiatric care, and prevention programs to more than 7,500 residents annually.

CCMHRB's core service portfolio centers on crisis intervention (24/7 Clermont and Brown Counties hotline, mobile crisis response, MRSS for youth), harm reduction (two vending machines dispensing Narcan, fentanyl test strips, and Deterra bags; a Monday clinic at Mercy Health Clermont Hospital), suicide prevention (Coalition, QPR and SOS training, Healing Hearts survivor support, state-park signage), and prevention education in schools via the Life Skills Training curriculum. The organization also administers the GOSH Benefit Plan, a public fund that subsidizes mental health and addiction services for uninsured and low-income residents, and operates a Mini Grant Program (up to $3,000 per project, $30,000 total) for community mental-health initiatives.

The entity is governed by a 12-member volunteer Board of Directors (8 appointed by County Commissioners, 4 by the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health) and run by a five-person administrative staff led by Executive Director Lee Ann Watson. It is currently mid-renovation on its Batavia headquarters, which is being converted into a Crisis Receiving Center through 2026. CCMHRB has trained over 90% of Clermont County law enforcement in Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) protocols since 2011 and cites a $10-to-$1 system-wide ROI on treatment investment. There is no product commercialization, no equity ownership, and no AI/ML capability disclosed; the operating model is public-sector coordination and contracting rather than product development.
