In Case You Missed It: June Recap
North Community Counseling Centers stayed actively engaged in the community throughout June by participating in a variety of outreach events and initiatives across Central Ohio. Our team attended the NAMI Walks Franklin County 2026 and the 2026 Stonewall Columbus Pride March, alongside the Human Service Chamber, continuing to connect individuals with behavioral health support services and spread awareness. We loved celebrating with the community and showing that mental health is for everyone!
Our Women’s Empowerment Program participated in Rise Up CBUS events at Galloway Ridge and Woodward Park. The Rise Up CBus events are always an amazing time to connect with our community and partners, share NCCC resources and services, eat great food, and jam out to some music, alongside our neighbors!
