Oregon District Shooting: Support & mental health resources

The aftermath of the horrendous Oregon District Shootings has left us all heartbroken, numb and with a sense of helplessness.

It is normal to feel all these things while grieving the tragedy in our beloved city!

In times like these, LOVE & UNITY is what really needs to be brought to the center and spread like wildfire. Many our our fellow Daytonian's need our help and support. Below is a list of community resources to help during this time of healing!

Daytonohio.gov has been a huge asset for the community since the Memorial Day Tornadoes and again coming in strong for the community after the Oregon District Shooting!
