ONE YEAR COVID-19 COMMEMORATION

Where were you one year ago?
The last 12 months have been a wild ride – we've felt loss, seen remarkable innovation, grown as a community, and experienced mental and emotional fatigue as the pandemic evolved. OHIO is commemorating the last year with #OHIO1YearLater. Explore and reflect here.

Your mental health matters. Remember there are resources here for you including counseling, peer-to-peer support, and workshops.
