The YMCA of Greater Cleveland was proud to serve as a community partner for today's City Club of Cleveland forum featuring Michael Parks, Regional Executive of the Northern Ohio Region of the American Red Cross and retired Rear Admiral of the U.S. Coast Guard, in conversation with Dr. Michael A. Baston, President of Cuyahoga Community College.

The discussion highlighted the many ways the American Red Cross helps keep our communities safe and healthy, from disaster preparedness and response to CPR and First Aid training, blood collection and the Home Fire Campaign, which has installed millions of smoke alarms and helped save lives across the country.

For decades, the YMCA and the American Red Cross have worked side by side to strengthen our communities. We share a commitment to health, safety, preparedness and ensuring that people have the resources they need to thrive. We are grateful for the Red Cross's leadership and partnership in building stronger, safer communities throughout Northeast Ohio.

Today, the French Creek Family YMCA welcomed leaders from the Ohio Su***de Prevention Foundation and community partners as they announced a new initiative focused on improving men's mental health and preventing su***de in Lorain County and across Ohio.

The effort is part of a two-year statewide initiative designed to expand su***de prevention strategies, strengthen community support systems and encourage men ages 24–59 to seek help when they need it. Participants discussed local mental health trends, the importance of reducing stigma and the need to create environments where conversations about mental health are welcomed and supported.

At the YMCA, we believe well-being includes spirit, mind and body. We are grateful to partner with organizations that are working to ensure individuals and families have access to the support and resources they need to thrive.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. In the photo are Brandon J. Wysocki, Director of Youth Services and Community Outreach at American Legion Post 30; Tony Coder, Ohio Su***de Prevention Foundation CEO; and Rebecca Jones, Mental Health, Addiction & Recovery Services Board of Lorain County & Chair of Lorain County Su***de Prevention Coalition.

Fox 8's Kenny Crumpton stopped by Public Square this morning as part of his Kickin' It with Kenny series, highlighting the many events and activities planned for downtown Cleveland this summer through Downtown Cleveland, Inc. (DCI).

As a proud DCI partner, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland was excited to be part of the fun. Kenny spent some time with our Group Exercise Coordinator, Lisa Conner, learning about Total Body Blast, the free outdoor fitness class we'll be leading in Public Square on Monday evenings throughout the summer.

Looking for a fun way to stay active, connect with others and enjoy downtown Cleveland? Join us this summer in Public Square!

Today, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland Board of Directors welcomed new Board Chair Justin Binns and recognized the outstanding leadership of outgoing Chair LaRese Purnell.

LaRese's service as board chair helped guide our YMCA through both challenges and opportunities, leaving our organization stronger and better positioned for the future. As we celebrated his contributions, LaRese reflected on his own YMCA journey, sharing that he was once a "Y kid" who found positive role models, safe spaces and life-changing opportunities through the YMCA. He remarked that the YMCA was one of the organizations that helped save his life and shaped many of the decisions he made during his formative years.

Today, his story has come full circle. From a young person impacted by the Y to the leader of our Board of Directors, LaRese's journey is a powerful reminder of the lasting difference the YMCA can make in a person's life.

Thank you, LaRese, for your leadership, your passion and your continued commitment to strengthening our community. 💜
