Our History
Appleseed was founded in 1991 and began offering adult mental health services; counseling, case management, crisis intervention, pre-hospitalization screening, diagnosis and medication/somatic to residents of Ashland County. In 1993, the agency added housing services for individuals with low-to-moderate income. Two apartments were purchased in 1994 through a grant from the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services to house individuals with a severe mental disability. Services for children and families were added in 1995, and Appleseed became a full-service mental health agency.
Under the umbrella of Appleseed, the following supporting programs are also offered: Safe Haven, Community/School Liaison program, Co-Occurring Program, SPARK program, and Supported Employment program.
Appleseed, as a multi-service agency, provides high quality, research-based, affordable, and outcome-driven services to help residents improve their lives and develop necessary skills to live, learn, and work successfully in our community. The agency has grown from 12 employees serving only adults seeking mental health treatment to over 100 employees offering comprehensive mental health care and supportive services to persons of all ages.
