The Task Force is dedicated to empowering community members, organizations and policymakers to support prevention and recovery while ensuring all Darke County residents have access to basic needs like housing, mental health care, addiction recovery services and support, and more.

Did you know?

Written and video education from the Task Force and from contributors across the county.

The first education materials are being prepared.

The Task Force is assembling written and video material on housing, mental health care, addiction recovery and prevention — the things a community needs to understand before it can change them. Material is reviewed before it is published, and appears here as it is approved.

Contribute education

Learn about the issues from first-hand accounts

Videos and written submissions from neighbours who have lived it. Every account here is published with the contributor’s explicit consent, credited exactly as they asked.

The first accounts are still being gathered.

Accounts are published only after the person who shared one has confirmed they want it public, and after a Task Force moderator has reviewed it. That takes time, and it is the right way round. If you have something to say about housing loss, recovery, or trying to get help in Darke County, we would like to hear it.

Your experience is education.

You choose how you are credited — by name or anonymously — and nothing is published until you have confirmed you want it to be.
