Resources and events from Ohio Northern University

The statistics are too stark to be ignored: suicide is the third leading cause of death for college-age students in the United States. In 2021, 43.4% of 18 to 29-year-olds experienced symptoms of depression compared to 21% in 2017. That same year, a total of 48.5 percent screened for anxiety compared to 11% in 2019.

A large decorative black bench now sits in front of the Beatitudes Community Center at 210 N. Main St., as an invitation to sit and watch the world go by, to stop and chat with someone you meet or to simply pause and take a moment of needed rest.

The bench is the gift of Penny Keller-Clark, known in the community as Officer Penney of the Ada Police Department.
