A place where healing shines through the light of friends.

The Recovery Zone is a non-profit, social and educational drop-in center serving mental health consumers in both Logan and Champaign counties. We are overseen by a consumer run board which was voted in by the members for a 2-year term.

Our Mission: Recovery Zone, a safe haven for those in need of socialization without stigma or prejudices. A supportive environment set to assist those coping with mental illness through increased knowledge and understanding of specific illnesses, treatments and medications in the quest for recovery; a place to learn skills, share ideas on how to cope and deal with the different aspects of everyday life.

Our secretary, Billie Cutcher, was recently certified as a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) facilitator. In addition, we offer a family type atmosphere where learning, socializing and having fun are all available options. We open our doors to current and prospective members without prejudice; all are invited and encouraged to become members of the Recovery Zone. Please feel free to stop by and visit our facility for a meeting, and see what we have to offer.

Ohio State University Extension's Family Nutrition Program (FNP) is funded by Midwest Region Food and Nutrition Service, United States Department of Agriculture. The Family Nutrition Program is sometimes referred to as the Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program. FNP is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services and Ohio State University Extension in an effort to improve the nutrition of families and individuals who are food stamp program participants or eligible nonparticipants in non EFNEP counties and food stamp program participants or eligible nonparticipants who are elderly and/or adults without young children in EFNEP counties.

The Family Nutrition Program is an integral part of the Ohio State University Extension Family & Consumer Sciences program. FNP Program Assistants teach basic nutrition, food safety, meal management, thrifty shopping and food resource management information to food stamp recipients and to eligible nonparticipants. The success of FNP involves a partnership with local agencies/organizations whose outreach includes food stamp program participants and other low income audiences. Ohio State University Extension has the responsibility to provide additional educational experiences for the FNP audience. The use of FNP materials in other Extension programs can contribute to interaction and can serve as a bridge between Extension programs.

All educational programs conducted by OSU Extension are available to clientele on a nondiscriminatory basis without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, gender, age, disability or Vietnam-era veteran status.
