Our community is grieving the loss of one of our children. Our hearts are with their family, friends, classmates, teachers and everyone who is hurting in the wake of this tragedy.

No one is expected to navigate the grief that follows a su***de alone. Please know that local support is available for anyone who needs someone to talk to, a safe place to process what they’re feeling, help making sense of what happened, or simply someone willing to sit with them.

As many of you know, there are counselors and resources available within our schools to support students and families.

SpringVale Health Centers also offers a 24/7 Crisis Hotline at 330.343.1811, connecting you directly with a behavioral health professional who can listen, provide support and help connect you with additional resources.

And at RapidCare Behavioral Health Urgent Care, anyone can walk in and speak with a counselor at no cost and without an appointment - all ages are welcome.

If you’re struggling, worried about someone you love, or simply don’t know where to turn, please reach out. You don’t have to face this alone.

As summer comes to a close, we’re making one final push for our 2026 Annual Appeal.

This summer alone, we’ve seen artists create, students learn, neighbors gather, and our community continue to show just how much the arts matter in Tuscarawas County. None of it happens alone.

Your support helps Tuscarawas Arts Partnership continue to connect people to the arts, create opportunities for local artists and organizations, and build toward an even stronger creative community.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has already helped us raise more than $16,000 toward that work. As we close out the summer, will you help us keep the arts flowing? Every gift makes a difference.
