OhioGuidestone, a leader in community behavioral health in Ohio, has announced the launch of a digital store offering access to their professional training materials. This initiative allows individuals studying psychological sciences and best practices for behavioral health to purchase the same resources used by OhioGuidestone staff in clinical settings.

The training series comprises books and manuals developed through extensive research and evidence-based practices by the Institute of Family and Community Impact (IFCI), OhioGuidestone's research division. Brittany Pope, AVP of Applied Clinical Sciences & Research at OhioGuidestone, explained that "the initiative will address the growing demand for more trauma-informed care services in communities, and by removing barriers, professional care-providers can access the high-quality continuing education tools OhioGuidestone offers."

Pope further noted that making these resources widely accessible could expand the use of behavioral health interventions tailored to individual needs. Reinhild Boehme, Assistant Director for IFCI and author of the training series, described the manuals as "packed with easy-to-understand explanations, along with ready-to-use interventions offering practical therapeutic techniques for individual or group applications by a wide range of behavioral health professionals."

The mental health and wellness training series is available for purchase online. OhioGuidestone expressed enthusiasm about sharing this development and providing more information about their work within IFCI.

OhioGuidestone aims to support individuals throughout their lives during challenging times with compassion and respect. As a leader in community behavioral healthcare in Ohio, they offer comprehensive prevention services and mental health and substance use treatment through telehealth and various locations statewide. More information is available on their website or through social media platforms.
