Military Families and the Holidays

We are thankful for our military and their families who support them. Veterans Day was November 11, however, we will continue honoring Veterans and their families throughout the year. The holidays can be particularly hard for those in the military and their loved ones, not only husband, wives, and children, but all loved ones in their lives. The Mental Health and Recovery Board of Ashland County offers mental health and addiction services provided by partner agencies.
