OUR MISSION

To provide pathways for growth, achievement, and lifelong success.

To Our Friends,

Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) laid a strong foundation for continued growth at OhioGuidestone and was defined by excellence, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to those we serve.

Every day, our employees demonstrate compassion, expertise, and dedication in communities across Ohio. Their impact is reflected not only in the lives they change, but also in the recognition they receive. In FY25, we proudly celebrated our second consecutive designation as a NorthCoast 99 employer, affirming our commitment to a workplace where top talent thrives. Our team members were also honored statewide, including recognition from NAMI and NAMI/StarkMHAR for their contributions to advancing mental health awareness and support.

This year, we expanded access to care in meaningful ways— launching ReadyCare Walk-In Clinics for Behavioral Health at 12 locations, introducing primary care services in Lorain, opening new sites in Findlay and Dennison, and being selected to provide Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) in 14 counties. These efforts bring critical, integrated services directly into homes, schools, and communities, reducing barriers, and ensuring timely support.

We also strengthened the quality of care through key clinical innovations including expanded Measurement-Based Care, the Signs of Suicide (SOS) school-based screening program, and the Yates Paternal Depression Screening Tool developed by our Institute of Family and Community Impact. Together, these tools enhance our ability to identify needs early, guide timely intervention, and deliver data-informed, personalized care.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Together, we are building stronger families, healthier communities, and a brighter future for all.

OUR REACH

In FY25, OhioGuidestone continued its long tradition of expanding access to care by broadening both our physical footprint and the innovative ways we serve communities.

Since our founding, meeting individuals and families where they are has been central to our approach, ensuring access to high-quality support in convenient, accessible settings. This year, we advanced that commitment by being selected to provide Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) in 14 counties, launching ReadyCare WalkIn Clinics for Behavioral Health at 12 locations, introducing primary care services in Lorain, and opening new sites in Findlay and Dennison. These expansions bring critical services directly into

homes, schools, and communities, supporting both immediate intervention and ongoing care.

Today, OhioGuidestone serves more than half of Ohio’s 88 counties and partners with over 300 schools statewide.

In addition to physical growth, we strengthened our reach through innovative service delivery. Expanded walk-in services, integrated care, and evidence-based screening programs enable earlier identification of needs and more timely, personalized responses.

Together, these efforts reduce barriers and ensure more individuals have access to the support they need.

NEW LOCATIONS

OhioGuidestone continues to grow through strategic investments in the communities we serve, expanding access to whole-person care across Ohio.

In Dennison, we opened Stillwater Crossing, a 7,900-square-foot residential treatment center for men— the first nonprofit facility of its kind in Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties. This $2.7 million facility, built by the ADAMHS Board of Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties and operated by OhioGuidestone, addresses a critical gap in substance use treatment, offering evidence-based care for up to 16 men, along with continued support following discharge.

We also expanded services at the Findlay Family Center, joining 11 other social service providers in a communitybased setting, and introduced primary care at the Lorain Health Center, strengthening our continuum of care and improving access for individuals and families.

NEW SERVICES

OhioGuidestone expanded its reach and strengthened its capacity to deliver whole-person care through strategic growth across the state, ensuring timely access to high-quality, integrated behavioral health services.

In May, we launched ReadyCare Walk-In Clinics for Behavioral Health at 12 locations statewide. The ReadyCare brand unifies walk-in services, including Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics and Substance Use Disorder Services, providing convenient, same-day access without appointments and reducing barriers such as long wait times.

We also introduced comprehensive Primary Care at the Lorain Health Center, where patients receive both physical and behavioral health services in one location, improving outcomes.

Additionally, OhioGuidestone was selected to oversee Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) across three regions and provide services in a fourth region in partnership with other providers. MRSS delivers rapid, in-person support within 60 minutes of calling 988 and up to 42 days of wraparound care for youth and families in crisis.

Together, these advancements reflect our commitment to innovation, accessibility, and integrated care across Ohio.

NEW TOOLS OUR CLIENTS

At OhioGuidestone, our clients are at the heart of everything we do—they are our “why.”

Each day, we are honored to support individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges and opportunities, providing the tools, guidance, and care to help them move toward their healthiest future.

In FY25, we expanded access to several evidence-based programs including Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) assessments, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Expressive Arts therapies. These efforts enable us to meet clients where they are, reach underserved populations, and drive innovation in behavioral health care.

Together, these programs, and our commitment to personalized, accessible care, empower clients to discover their new path forward.

Our clients say it best. Discover stories of resilience, success, and hope.

In FY25, OhioGuidestone strengthened its continuum of care by integrating three evidence-based tools to better identify needs and deliver timely support.

A key advancement was the introduction of Measurement-Based Care (MBC) through Greenspace, which uses digital assessments and real-time data to guide clinical decision-making.

We also launched the Yates Paternal Depression Screening Tool, developed by our Institute of Family and Community Impact, to identify and address depression in fathers and fathers-to-be.

Additionally, we expended use of the Signs of Suicide (SOS) program in schools increased early identification of at-risk youth. Together, these tools enhance our ability to provide datadriven, responsive care, and improve outcomes.
