Our Senior Visitors program pairs trained volunteers with seniors who are isolated or lonely, providing companionship and social interaction. Our Suicide Prevention program works to reduce the incidence of suicide by providing educational resources, support groups, and crisis intervention services.

Our Support Services are designed to provide individuals with the tools and resources they need to manage their mental health. We offer individual and group therapy sessions, as well as educational programs and workshops. Our Community Conversation Series brings together experts and community members to discuss important mental health topics and provide a platform for connection and conversation.

Our Impact

Our innovative pilot program at Fredericksburg City Schools has helped remove barriers to access, providing opportunities for high-risk teens to receive the support they need. Our evidence-based programs, such as Signs of Suicide, have helped identify students who are struggling and connect them with vital resources.
