OhioSPEAKS: Speak Up for Health and Human Services

Advocates for Ohio’s Future and its partners are working to collect and highlight stories from consumers of health and human services in Ohio through their OhioSPEAKS project.  These stories will illustrate the vital importance of programs that support Ohio’s most vulnerable children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

ASIA serves many communities which include immigrants and refugees who depend on these health and human services.  If you or someone you know has benefited from services provided in Ohio, or is struggling to get needed services due to the decreased support for many health and human programs in Ohio, please speak up!  Your stories will educate lawmakers, the media and the public about the value of health and human services in Ohio.
