A community news update by Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board dba Encompass Community Supports.

As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with gratitude for the support you’ve shown Encompass Community Supports. Your partnership makes it possible for us to provide vital behavioral health, developmental disability, and aging services to neighbors of all ages across our region.

Because of you, older adults stay connected and supported, families find stability, and individuals facing life’s toughest challenges receive compassionate care. Together, we are making a difference, one life at a time.

This year, the S.E.E. (Support, Encourage, Empower) Recovery Center welcomed more than 7,500 visitors.  Our transportation team provided 49,000 rides, and our seniors received more than 35,000 home-delivered meals.

Our Behavioral Health team supported more than 1,000 residents in crisis and delivered over 1,300 services. We also celebrated 10 years of our Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program.  This powerful partnership among law enforcement, first responders, behavioral health professionals, advocates, and individuals with lived experience promotes compassionate, stigma-free responses to mental health and substance use crises.

But we can’t do this work alone.  This year has brought challenges for many, including our agency. Social service cutbacks, the federal government shutdown, and anticipated Medicaid cuts create new pressures.

As the year comes to a close, we invite you to consider a year-end gift to help us continue strengthening the health and well-being of our community. Every contribution, large or small, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we serve.
