Unison Health opens a campus offering youth a safe place to heal close to home
Young people who have experienced trauma need care tailored to their needs. Amy Kobold, Unison Health’s chief operating officer, described one young person for whom using the bathroom felt unsafe because of past trauma — a reminder that effective care must be responsive to each child. “Our youth have unique backgrounds,” she said. “For him, the bathroom was a trigger. So working on what it looked like for him to take a shower and use the restroom in a way that was safe for him, that was very unique to him.” The recognition that each child’s personal history may shape their triggers informed Unison Health’s goal of providing a safe, structured, and supportive environment for youth with behavioral health needs. On Thursday, the mental health and substance abuse health system celebrated the grand opening of its Child Wellness Campus, a facility designed to provide timely assessment and support in a safe setting close to home for children and youth involved in the child welfare system. “These children have been through so much, things that they should have never experienced to begin with, and they present as angry and aggressive,” Ms. Kobold said. “And after some time passes, and you start

Couple to tie the knot Friday the 13th at Toledo funeral museum
For a Grand Rapids, Mich., couple, it all started at their local haunted house. When Ryan Reyher met Stephanie Briceno-Rosas at the Haunt in Grand Rapids in the summer of 2020, he was immediately smitten, he said. “I thought she was gorgeous,” Mr. Reyher said of his first impression. But it wasn’t just her looks that attracted him: “She was really caring and her aspirations were really cool.” He asked her out at the end of August, 2020, and their relationship blossomed. Six years later, the couple, who share a love of all things spooky, plan to marry on Friday the 13th at Mortuary Manor Funeral Museum & Event Center, a museum housed in a Victorian-era building that later served as a funeral home in Toledo. “We were looking for kind of a gothic venue within our budget,” Mr. Reyher said. “We decided to reach out and see if we could host a wedding there, and he was more than happy to do it.” Friday’s wedding is the first for the museum, said Cory Leibenguth, operational manager of Mortuary Manor. The building dates to the 1870s and was remodeled into a mansion-style structure in 1897, he said. It became Urbanski
