Yay!! Congrats Charterhouse!!!

What a moment! We're honored to have our friends from Charterhouse Clubhouse with us for two weeks of training. They recently received the fantastic news that they have been officially accredited by Clubhouse International. This makes them the very first accredited Clubhouse in Virginia! We celebrated this major milestone by having them add a pin to our world map, joining a community of over 380 Clubhouses. Welcome to the family!

Immediate Support: Providing urgent care and a welcoming environment for those experiencing a behavioral health emergency.
Stabilization: Offering short-term, intensive services to help individuals regain stability in a therapeutic setting.
Connection to Long-Term Treatment: Ensuring seamless transitions to ongoing support and resources within the community for sustained recovery.
The Crisis Receiving Center represents a significant step towards a more responsive and compassionate behavioral health system in Prince William County. It will integrate essential services under one roof, fostering collaboration between healthcare providers, law enforcement, and community organizations to pave the way for a healthier, more resilient community.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about this groundbreaking initiative and how it will serve our community.

NAMI is deeply alarmed and saddened by the passage of this bill.

🚨 The House is preparing to vote on their budget bill as early as TONIGHT. This bill still includes at least $715 billion in devastating funding cuts to Medicaid that will negatively impact people with mental illness.
