  • Access to mental health care shouldn't depend on whether someone feels their experiences are reflected within the system designed to support them. Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month highlights the importance of behavioral health services that recognize the diverse cultures, perspectives, and lived experiences of the people they serve. When care feels accessible, respectful, and relevant, more people can get the support they need. When barriers to care are reduced, individuals, families, and communities are better positioned to thrive. Learn more about supporting mental health from NAMI and Mental Health America. #SeenHeardUnderstood #BebeMooreCampbell#BIPOCMentalHealthMonth #MinorityMentalHealth #BehavioralHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthEquity #HumanServices

  • We're proud to share that Northwoods founder Gary Heinze has been recognized as one of Ohio Tech News and OhioX's AI25: People Defining Ohio's AI Economy. Since Northwoods was founded in 2003, our mission has remained the same: helping those who help others. That vision has led to technology that supports human services agencies across the country, giving caseworkers more time to focus on the people who need them most. This recognition reflects the impact that mission has had across Ohio and beyond, and we're grateful to see the work acknowledged. Congratulations to Gary on this well-deserved honor. We're proud of the foundation he built and excited to continue advancing that vision through responsible AI that empowers the people serving our communities. #ElevatingHumanity #HumanServices #ResponsibleAI

  • Family reunification is one of the most meaningful outcomes in child welfare. During Family Reunification Month, we recognize the families working toward reunification and the professionals, caregivers, and community partners who help make it possible. Safe, stable reunification is built through commitment, support, and a shared focus on strengthening families. When family connections can be preserved and restored, children are better positioned to thrive. Behind every reunification is a story of resilience, progress, and the belief that families can succeed when they have the support they need. #FamilyReunificationMonth #ChildWelfare #FamilySupport #Permanency #HumanServices
