Mount Rogers Community Services

Mount Rogers Community Services- Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) Project - the Proposed MRCS Community Mental Health Clinic (CMHC) Project Will Support and Restore the Delivery of Clinical Services That Were Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Effectively Address the Needs of Individuals With Serious Emotional Disturbance (sed), Serious Mental Illness (smi), and Individuals With Co-occurring Disorder (cod). to Meet the Evolving Needs of Our Community Further Exacerbated by the COVID-19 Pandemic, This Project Seeks to Move Our Organization From a Trauma-informed Entity to One That Is “trauma-responsive”. Specifically, the Project Will Address the Needs of the Sub-population of Adults and Youth Who Are Seeking Services or Need Immediate Crisis Management Services by Expanding the Capacity of Our Crisis Care Center (CCC), Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Services in Wythe County, and Our Two Crisis Stabilization Units to Provide Medical Clearance Capabilities. We Intend to Expand Therapeutic Day Treatment (TDT) Services Throughout Our Six Local School Systems; Expand the Peer Family Support Program to Include an Additional Family Support Partner; Increase the Number of Consumers, Community Members, and MRCS Staff Receiving Training and Resources Around Mental Health, Trauma, Resiliency, and Wellness. Specific Training Will Be Provided to Staff on Cultural and Linguistic Competency, to Engage and Retain Clients From Diverse Populations. We Will Also Increase Services and Support Around the Geriatric Population, Individuals in Our Communities Who Have Been Most Isolated During the Pandemic. This Project Will Expand Our Agency’s Availability and Responsiveness to the Growing Behavioral Healthcare Needs and Challenges Facing Our Service Area.
