Mental Health & Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties

What Mental Health & Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties does

Mental Health & Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties (MHRB) is a county behavioral health authority board established under Ohio Revised Code 340.02, one of 50 such boards comprising the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA). Headquartered at 1055 East High Street in Springfield, Ohio, MHRB coordinates access to mental health and addiction services for residents of Clark, Greene, and Madison Counties by connecting individuals and families to a network of certified contract care providers. The board itself does not deliver clinical treatment; instead, it performs a public funding-stewardship role, distributing federal and state grants from Ohio Mental Health & Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) and local levy dollars to contracted providers, while also advocating for basic-needs supports such as transportation, housing, and medication.

MHRB's core operational product is its Provider Connection Services — a searchable directory linking residents to certified care providers by county, service type, and demographic — backed by the Contract Care Provider Network, whose members (DeCoach Recovery Centre, McKinley Hall, TCN Behavioral Health, Mental Health Services for Clark and Madison Counties, NAMI, and others) must hold OhioMHAS certification plus national credentials. The board also operates five county-level coalitions (suicide prevention in Clark and Greene, Madison We CARE, Clark County Substance Abuse Coalition, Greene County Drug-Free Coalition) and runs community training programs including QPR Suicide Prevention (~90 minutes), Mental Health First Aid (8 hours, with Youth variant), and Trauma 101. Adjacent services include 988 Crisis Lifeline integration, Project DAWN naloxone distribution, Client Rights advocacy, and Grief and Loss Resources.

MHRB's go-to-market combines a direct-to-consumer front door (provider search, crisis line, community events) with a channel-partner back end (RFP/AAR-based provider contracting, levy-funded allocations, OhioMHAS grant distribution). Revenue is entirely governmental pass-through — state and federal grants plus local levy proceeds — making the organization functionally a public-sector funding intermediary rather than a commercial enterprise. The organization holds Culture of Quality (COQ) certification from OACBHA and has two volunteer surveyors on staff; it is governed by 18 volunteer board members (10 appointed by county commissioners, 8 by the OhioMHAS director) and operates with 11–50 employees including a CEO, four directors, and supporting fiscal and compliance staff.
