With the help of an anonymous donation Portage Path’s Peer Support Specialists were able to create a calm and safe space for our clients, known as the Zen Den. This space is a room for clients to engage in wellness activities, get 1:1 time with our Peer Support Specialists, search for resources, attend groups and so much more. Peer Support Services have been proven to increase treatment success rates, and the new Zen Den provides our clients and Peer Support Specialists a comfortable and welcoming space for engagement as well as access to resources to continue their path to recovery!#mentalheathmatters #mentalhealth #recovery #peersupport ...

Today, Portage Path and its partners are proud to launch SCOUT - the Summit County Outreach Team. This program has been piloted with the help of @akronmayormalik, @admboard, @summitexecutive, @akronfiredept and @akronpolicedept.The program is a co-responder model in which crisis-trained members of Akron Fire, Akron Police, and Portage Path Behavioral Health will jointly respond to low acuity calls for service where mental health is a concern, but the individual is not a danger to themselves or others. The team’s goal is to de-escalate mental health crises and provide resources on the spot to those in need. #akronohio #mentalhealthsupport #scout #summitcounty ... See MoreSee Less
