These are uncertain and stressful times for everyone. Isolation and physical distancing from our friends and family, has resulted in many drinking more alcohol and experimenting with drugs to cope with fear, depression and boredom. Please check in on those you love! Request free Naloxone by mail at columbus.gov/cfcap, and always call 911 when someone is experiencing an overdose.

Aging is a beautiful process, but it can be
difficult for older adults to identify necessary resources to live life to the
fullest. To help alleviate this issue, Syntero provides one-on-one appointments
with navigators who can help answer questions about all things related to
healthy ageing, including home resources and care giving. The navigator service
is offered through the Forever Dublin Hub, formed in partnership with the City
of Dublin, which provides social, educational and health resources for Dublin’s
older adults and caregivers. For more information about the program, read the press release from the City of Dublin.
To make a one-on-one appointment with a navigator,
call 614.889.5722 extension 810. Appointments are available on Fridays and
Saturdays. The Forever Dublin Hub is located at the Syntero Dublin Office at
299 Cramer Creek Court, Dublin, Ohio, 43017.

Syntero offers comprehensive services specifically designed for the
LGBTQ+ community, provided by culturally competent staff members. During Pride
Month, Syntero celebrated the LGBTQ+ community by holding a fun event at The
Candle Lab to provide an opportunity for community members to meet program
coordinators while making candles. Twenty percent of all proceeds supported
Syntero’s LGBTQ+ programs. Later in the month, Syntero’s Family Pride Mixer
provided an opportunity for Syntero staff, program participants, potential
program participants and their families to socialize and support one another.
Syntero provides an array of LGBTQ+ services, including individual counseling, couples and family counseling,
sexual health education and yoga. Additionally, the Celebrate You! group for adolescents and the Celebrate Us! group for families and friends of members of the
LGBTQ+ community offer LGBTQ+ community members and supporters an opportunity
to socialize while addressing issues in a supportive, safe environment to lead
to positive outcomes and healthy/balanced lifestyles and choices for dealing
with identity issues.
