Touchdown for HOPE Scheduled for Sunday, February 5, 2017

Mason, OH –The eighth annual Touchdown for HOPE Super Bowl Sunday event will take place on February 5, 2017, starting with tailgating at 5:30 p.m. and with Super Bowl kick-off at 6:30 p.m., at the Great American Ballpark Champions Club.

Proceeds from Touchdown for HOPE will be used to subsidize the cost of treatment for those suffering from prescription opioid/heroin addiction at Lindner Center of HOPE’s HOPE Center North location.  Lindner Center of HOPE makes this call to action in response to the overdose crisis in the local community.  Many people suffer from not having the funds to pay for services for a daily treatment program, despite the fact that in most cases this is the most effective treatment option.  The inconsistency results in declining treatment effectiveness significantly over time.

Touchdown for HOPE is a classy and fun Super Bowl party with big screen televisions, plush seating, and signature Cincinnati food favorites and other upscale tailgate-style treats. All taking place in a sports fan’s dream location –overlooking the baseball field.  Tickets are $125 per guest, but a young professional’s ticket, for those 35 and under, is priced at $75. Tickets purchased prior to January 15, 2017 are discounted to $100 and $65 respectively. Reservations include free parking in Central Riverfront Garage and all food and beverages.

Originally conceived in 2010 by Scott Robertson, Carl Satterwhite, John Ryan, Francie Hiltz and Sue Lawrence, this annual event has consistently raised over $200,000 and continues to improve the lives of those suffering with mental illness and substance use disorders.

Event details:

Location: Great American Ballpark, Champions Club, 100 Joe Nuxhall Way.
Date: February 5, 2017; 5:30p.m., 6:30 p.m. kick-off
Tickets: $125; $75 young professional’s ticket (Purchase 9 tickets, get one free.)

 (Mason, OH– September 21, 2016) Lindner Center of HOPE is proud to announce that it will be a sponsor of Screening for Mental Health’s National Depression Screening Day® (NDSD), which raises awareness and screens people for depression and mood disorders and allows individuals to connect with the appropriate treatment resources.

National Depression Screening Day, held on October 6th serves as a supportive community initiative to connect the public with mental health screenings and focuses on viewing and treating mental health with the same gravity as physical health. This year’s campaign focuses on suicide prevention due to the recent rise in suicide rates. According to the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC), the suicide rate in the United States increased 24 percent from 1999 to 2014, making it the highest it has been in decades. Screening for Mental Health is introducing a public resource, stopasuicide.org, that not only educates the public on the warning signs of suicide, but also provides action steps needed to help individuals get themselves or someone they care about the help they need.

“One of the largest barriers to treatment is mental health stigma,” Paul E. Keck, Jr, MD, President and CEO, Lindner Center of HOPE. “We are delighted to be a sponsor of National Depression Screening Day to raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention and connect those suffering with the treatment they need.”

Although the screenings are not diagnostic, they will determine if someone is exhibiting symptoms associated with depression and other mood disorders and if they should seek help. In a recent independent study commissioned by the nonprofit Screening for Mental Health, 55 percent of study participants who completed a depression and mood disorder screening sought treatment within three months.

candleSeptember 10, 2016 is World Suicide Prevention Day. Lindner Center of HOPE, in support of the International Association for Suicide Prevention, is encouraging everyone to participate in recognizing the effect of suicide and help prevent suicide by lighting a candle at 8 p.m. on September 10. The candle will be in remembrance of those lost to suicide and for the survivors of suicide. A candle may be lit by a window and/or an image of a candle can be posted on social media.

The World Health Organization estimates that over 800,000 people die by suicide each year – that’s one person every 40 seconds. Up to 25 times as many make a suicide attempt. The tragic ripple effect means that there are many, many more people have been bereaved by suicide or have been close to someone who has tried to take his or her own life. This is happening in spite of the fact that suicide is preventable.

More facts about suicide can be found at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs398/en/.

(Mason, Ohio – April 14, 2016) – Over 400 individuals from the greater Cincinnati area attended A Night of High Hopes at the Manor House in Mason on April 14. The event was hosted by High Hopes (a non-profit organization committed to raising funds and awareness for Lindner Center of HOPE) and co-chaired by Dianne Brown and Ruthie Keefe. All proceeds directly benefit bipolar and mood disorder research at Lindner Center of HOPE (a comprehensive mental health center located in Mason, OH).

The event raised $200,000, through sponsorships, ticket sales, silent auction and raffle. A special paddle auction raised $35,000 alone. It is anticipated that The Marriott Foundation will match the total raised by the event, potentially resulting in $400,000 benefitting bipolar and mood disorders research.

Success stories about mental health were shared throughout the evening, beginning with Dr. Mark Frye’s update on Mayo Clinic’s Bipolar Biobank at a special VIP reception held for premiere event sponsors.

Dr. Frye, Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and his team have established the Mayo Clinic Individualized Medicine Biobank for Bipolar Disorder. In affiliation with Mayo Clinic, researchers at Lindner Center of HOPE are serving as a research resource for this study, attempting to identify and understand the underpinning mechanisms of bipolar disorders.

Diagnosis of bipolar disorder continues to be based on behavioral observation and symptoms, without considering biological validation. Through the discovery of common biomarkers, the Biobank study is successfully making great strides in validating a biological test, for a more reliable diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

The evening included a complementary cocktail hour with guests bidding on 45 various silent auction items, taking a chance on several donated raffle prizes, and enjoying a sit-down dinner.

Following dinner, featured speaker Pete Earley, American journalist and author of CRAZY: A Father’s Search Through America’s Mental Health Madness, shared his success story about his son, Kevin who suffers with bipolar disorder. When Mr. Earley’s life was unraveled by the events recounted in his book Crazy, he joined the National Alliance on Mental Illness to advocate for strong mental health public awareness, and ultimately, reform. Mr. Earley concluded his talk with news that today, his son is taking his medication and has begun a career as a peer-to-peer counselor in Virginia.

As the evening came to a close, Mary Alexander, Director of Development for Lindner Center of HOPE, shared a success story about one of the Center’s research patients. The story explained how, through research, this patient has found hope as a subject in the study. And how this important research offers hope to our community, and our world.
