[Text on screen: Lori Cremeans Vice President - Hospital Operations Holzer Medical Center - Jackson] Lori Cremeans: with the opening of the Mobile MRI unit here in Jackson, Ohio. [Text on screen: Aimee Shadwick Director of RecoveryOhio] Aimee Shadwick: In Ohio, we are here to take decisive action. That's why we've committed $20 million through the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services to the SOAR study. A groundbreaking effort to dig deep into the roots of mental health issues. [Text on screen: Dr. Andy Thomas Chief Clinical Officer The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center] Andy Thomas, MD: Our goal across the state of Ohio is to figure out what are those factors that we can do that will really prevent mental illness and ensure resilience in our populations? SOAR is across all 88 counties of the state with two key projects. First is to do a survey of up to 15,000 Ohioans, looking at not just what are the causes of mental illness, but looking at what are the things that help some people become resilient. [Text on screen: Dr. Tracy Shaub Dean of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Ohio University Athens Campus] Tracy Shaub, DO: Through the power of partnerships, collectively, we can better understand the factors that influence and affect mental illness that will have an impact on all Ohioans for generations to come. [Text on screen: The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in collaboration with: Bowling Green State University Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals-Cleveland Central State University Kent State University Nationwide Children's Hospital NE Ohio Medical University Ohio University The Ohio State University University of Cincinnati/Cincinnati Children's Hospital University of Toledo Wright State University] Tracy Shaub, DO: We can do more together to help Ohioans lead healthier lives than we can do in isolation. [Text on screen: Dr. Scott Langenecker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health The Ohio State University College of Medicine] Scott Langenecker, PhD: In addition to that study, we also have the Brain Health Study, which marshals the technologies that we have to understand how the individual moves towards risk or maybe moves towards resilience. So we're standing in the shadow of the state-of-the-art MRI trailer. We're trying to understand how individual people, the brains of folks, respond to stressors. We try to understand how their immune system responds to stressors. We look at how blood flow in the brain changes in reaction to response to losses and to successes, and all of that is the pieces that we can use to put together to learn things that we don't know yet about how to build and move towards resilience. [Text on screen: Melissa Plummer Certified Drug Counselor Patient Story] Melissa Plummer: The long-term research that is happening with the SOAR study will help future generations. We didn't discuss mental health or substance use disorders when I was growing up. Studies like this can change all of that. Scott Langenecker, PhD: So our hope is that all this work over the course of multiple years will accelerate the pace to strengthen, develop, tailor, and implement new discoveries for building resilience in Southeast Ohio, Ohio, and ultimately the globe.
