“ADAMHS 101”

The Lake County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board is one of our area’s most important — and least understood — assets. A comprehensive local network of mental health, recovery, family support, and crisis/emergency services is dependent on ADAMHS support. This eye-opening presentation gives audiences an overview of the system as well as a better understanding of its value to their families and neighborhoods.

Suicide Prevention

If a friend, coworker, or relative were suicidal, would you know what to do? Would you recognize the signs? Would you know what to say — and not say? Would you know where to get help? This must-see presentation, by our Lake County Suicide Prevention Coalition, focuses on warning signs, do’s and don’ts, and emergency resources.

Bullying Prevention

Bullying is one of the ugliest problems facing schools, parents, and kids these days. Our ADAMHS Network is taking a proactive approach to bullying prevention. Learn what’s being done to combat bullying locally during this fascinating presentation.

Art Therapy

Art therapy can help people define, cope with, and recover from a serious mental illness. This program talks about how and why art therapy works, and spotlights work created by local artists through programs at our agencies.

Behavioral Health Issues in Older Adults

Depression, alcohol and drug dependence, and other behavioral health issues are equal opportunity afflicters, and older adults can be among the most vulnerable. This program offers a non-clinical overview of symptoms and impacts, and includes information on help resources in Lake County.
