Advocating for Strategic Investments
in Children's Mental Health
The Ohio Children’s Mental Health Coalition is a partnership of organizations working to strengthen and transform Ohio’s children's mental health system.
By advocating for responsible, outcome-oriented investments, we improve the quality of life for children and families, strengthen communities, and ensure long-term, cost-effective results for Ohio taxpayers.
TAKE ACTION: Protect OhioRISE
OhioRISE delivers specialized behavioral health care to Ohio’s most vulnerable children and youth—prioritizing care in homes, schools, and communities, not institutions.
Why protect OhioRISE?
Serves nearly 46,000 children, including
3,800+ in
foster care.
Coordinates care across multiple systems,
reducing barriers for
families.
Provides care without custody loss—
keeping children at
home.
OhioRISE works.
It’s essential, effective, and fiscally responsible.
This program was created to serve our most vulnerable kids in a more coordinated, efficient way. The early impact is clear, and with continued investment, OhioRISE will deliver better outcomes for families and build a stronger, more sustainable system for Ohio.
