Today in session, the Commissioners were joined by the Delaware-Morrow Mental Health & Recovery Services Board, the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office and the Delaware Public Health District to recognize September as National Recovery Month. Substance use and mental health disorders are treatable, and this month reminds us that people should seek assistance for these conditions with the same urgency as they would any other health condition. More than 10,000 Delaware County residents received behavioral healthcare services from the county’s publicly funded system in the first half of fiscal year 2025.
