Mental Health Provider Listing MHAF provides a free, confidential Mental Health HelpLine to assist people in accessing needed resources in our community. In order to provide accurate information to callers, MHAF maintains a listing of mental health professionals. This listing reflects information as reported by professionals to MHAF.
MHAF is currently preparing a listing of mental health agencies as part of the provider listing to enhance access to treatment services for those seeking help for themselves or clients. Please complete the mental health agency form and return to MHAF. Your agency information will also be provided to Rappahannock United Way (RUW) for inclusion in the recently released Community Connections Directory (CCD) that is posted on the RUW website. For those agencies already included in the CCD that are listed on the second page of the agency form, please review your information and send any additions and/or revisions to MHAF. Walk for Mental Wellness Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy a fun family day in the Park and walked to promote awareness and understanding of persons living with mental health conditions. The event was a FUNdraising success, thanks to the generous support of our walkers, sponsors, and local merchants who donated items for our silent auction, raffle, door prizes and food for all to enjoy. Thanks also to local musicians Phil Makely, Jim and Holly Lawrence. TEAM WINNER: Fredericksburg Preservation Services INDIVIDUAL WINNER: Linda Stott of Virginia Partners Bank
