OhioGuidestone | Diversity Employer

About Us

OhioGuidestone, one of the largest behavioral health agencies in the state, has been helping individuals reset their paths, reclaim their autonomy and restore their purpose for more than 155 years through community counseling, substance use disorder treatment, early childhood services, psychiatric care, workforce development training and more.

Though we all have different paths, we have a common goal—one of happiness for others and ourselves.

OhioGuidestone works for every person and family to reach happiness. With our family services, we lead children, parents, and individuals towards ways to change their situations for the better.

We know in our hearts that when we care for others, we are stronger. That’s why we speak the truth and deliver on our promises.

We believe inclusion and diversity make us a better organization. Together, we continue to build a workplace that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees. We strive to nurture a culture where inclusiveness is expected, not an option. These inclusive principles will guide how we build our teams, cultivate leaders and create an organization that nurtures every person inside of it. Inclusion and Diversity fuels our goal to be the lead human services provider and connects us closer to our clients and the communities we serve.
