Stories from our Seeds of Hope Summer 2025 Edition

At OhioGuidestone, we believe that every child deserves the tools, care, and encouragement they need to succeed. Our Seeds of Hope Summer 2025 highlights the many ways we empower youth and teens with the skills to thrive as children and families prepare for a new school year.

As Ohio’s leader in community behavioral health care, we remain committed to providing person-centered care that addresses mental health, substance use, and overall wellness. By partnering with schools, families, and communities, we’re building stronger foundations for young people during some of the most important times of their lives.

This edition of Seeds of Hope shares examples of resilience, creativity, and connection that are helping to shape the next generation. Inside you’ll find:

  • A spotlight on our partnership with Urban Community School in Cleveland, where integrating mental health services into classrooms is enhancing learning environments and helping students succeed.
  • The expansion of Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) across three Ohio regions ensures immediate help for youth in crisis.
  • Highlights from our Expressive Arts Creativity Camp in Perrysburg, where art and healing meet to help youth process emotions through creativity.
  • An inside look at the rewards of foster care through the inspiring story of Melissa and Jason.
  • Updates from our YouthBuild program, including Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill and celebrating graduates who are stepping into new careers and brighter futures.
  • Back-to-school tips for parents on recognizing when a child’s worries might signal something more serious, and how early support can make a lasting difference.

We invite you to explore this edition of Seeds of Hope Summer 2025 and celebrate the inspiring stories within.
