Resource Guide

 

The State of Ohio is deeply indebted to the service members returning from military service for their commitment to securing the safety of its’ citizens. Their service to our country and state is deeply appreciated. The following Service Member, Family and Community Behavioral Health Resource Guide is provided to assist military service members, veterans, their families and community-based agencies with the service member’s behavioral health needs during the transition from active duty back to civilian life.


This guide provides behavioral health information and resources for military service members and veterans about how to “positively cope” with the transition back to family members, friends and the community from active military service. It also describes some of the types of behaviors and feelings that are normal combat stress reactions and where to go for help if normal stress reactions become problematic.


For family members, this guide is designed to provide information about realistic expectations for the homecoming of the military service members and veterans and available behavioral health resources in the event problems are identified resulting from combat stress.


This guide will also assist community-based agencies and providers with the resources needed to make appropriate referrals for behavioral healthcare, if needed.
