In a groundbreaking development, Lynchburg is set to launch a Crisis Receiving Center in 2025 aimed at providing immediate mental health care and intervention.
Revolutionizing Mental Health Services
The Crisis Receiving Center will offer a range of crucial services, including mental health evaluations, crisis stabilization, and drug detox. The primary goal of this initiative is to divert individuals in crisis away from jails and emergency rooms, providing them with the specialized care they need.
Services Offered
To ensure the swift and effective response to crises, the center will have a team of trained police officers and peer-recovery specialists on hand. This team will be equipped to respond promptly to distress calls, offering a combination of safety and immediate care to those in need.
Trained Professionals on Standby
This groundbreaking project has received a significant boost through a $550,000 grant, highlighting the commitment of the authorities to mental health care in Lynchburg. Renovations are set to commence this fall on Fenwick Drive, the future location of the Crisis Receiving Center.
Grant Support and Renovation Plans
The establishment of the Crisis Receiving Center represents a monumental step forward in mental health care in Lynchburg. By providing immediate care and intervention to those in crisis, this center aims to make a lasting impact on the community and improve the overall well-being of its residents.
