The local need in Virginia

In Virginia, thousands of residents live with untreated mental health conditions, often without access to the resources they need. Community mental health centers are crucial in providing support, crisis intervention, and peer support specialists. Many individuals are unable to afford traditional counseling services, emphasizing the importance of sliding-scale options. The newly established 988 crisis line also aims to provide immediate assistance to those in crisis, but it requires ongoing support to sustain its operations and reach everyone who needs help.
