Ribbon Cutting, Open House Planned for New Crisis Stabilization Center in Lebanon

Community leaders, mental health professionals, and the public are invited to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of Transitional Living of Southwest Ohio (TLSO), a new Crisis Stabilization Center serving the region.

The event will take place on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at 995 Kingsview Drive, Lebanon, Ohio 45036 (located directly behind 975 Kingsview Drive).

TLSO will provide much-needed crisis stabilization services, offering a safe and supportive environment for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. The center will be operated by Talbert House, a trusted behavioral health provider in Southwest Ohio.

The project represents a strong regional collaboration among several mental health and recovery boards, including:

• Brown County Board of Mental Health & Addiction Services
• Clermont County Mental Health & Recovery Board
• Mental Health Recovery Board of Clark, Greene, & Madison Counties
• Mental Health Recovery Board Serving Warren & Clinton Counties
• Preble County Mental Health & Recovery Board

The nearly $5.6 million project received funding through the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health (ODBH), including $3,977,000 in ARPA funds for crisis stabilization, and an additional $800,000 from Brown County State Capital dollars. Remaining funds were cash matches from the regional boards involved in the project.

“This facility reflects our shared commitment to ensuring people in crisis receive immediate, compassionate care close to home,” said Amy Fornshell, Executive Director for Mental Health Recovery Board Serving Warren & Clinton Counties. “By working together, we are building stronger communities and improving access to lifesaving services.”

The public is encouraged to attend the ribbon cutting to learn more about the new center and the services it will provide.
