This Veterans Day, let’s honor our heroes by shining a light on mental health. Many veterans carry invisible wounds. If you’re struggling or know someone who is, you are not alone. There are local resources here in Fairfax and the region that offer immediate support. The vision of the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB) is that everyone in our community has the support needed to live a healthy, fulfilling life, including our remarkable Veterans. Below are some ways the CSB engages with veterans as an employer as well as a service provider. Employees at the CSB The CSB is an equal opportunity employer which means military personnel, active or retired, are encouraged to join our celebrated team. Through internal supportive resources and flexible opportunities, the CSB provides a stable landing ground for veterans to be matched with in-demand careers while seamlessly being able to attend required military duties. Individuals We Serve Statistics demonstrate a significant prevalence of mental health and substance use issues among the veteran population. The CSB is ready and equipped to support those individuals who qualify. Our clinicians regularly ask the individuals we serve about history of military experience and assess how military service may have an impact on their current functioning. By collecting this information, individuals have a better chance of success in treatment. Veterans Treatment Docket The Veterans Treatment Docket is a specialized program at the CSB that focuses on veterans’ mental health and substance use recovery. Recognizing the toll on veterans that accompanies military service, the mission of the Fairfax County Veterans Treatment Docket is to serve the community and increase public safety by integrating and incorporating a coordinated treatment response for justice-involved veterans with substance abuse and/or mental health issues. The goal of the program is for these veterans to return to the community as healthy, goal-oriented individuals. To all veterans and their loved ones, thank you for your service and sacrifice. If you or a veteran you know is in need of crisis support, reach out to the Veterans Crisis Line at 988 and press 1.

In moments of crisis, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Across the nation, support is now as close as dialing three numbers: 988. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects people to help when they need it most. It is an important resource for anyone experiencing mental health or substance use crises, offering immediate support 24/7. Recent updates to this vital service now make it even easier to obtain local assistance when it is most critical. What is the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline? 988 is a national service introduced to make accessing mental health crisis support easier and faster. Replacing longer and more difficult-to-remember phone numbers, 988 provide immediate, free and confidential support to anyone experiencing thoughts of suicide, emotional distress or a mental health-related crisis. Individuals are encouraged to call for themselves or others they may be worried about.  The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be accessed by phone, text, or chat. The goal of 988 is simple: to connect people in need with trained crisis counselors who can offer compassionate, real-time support.  What Happens When You Call 988? When you dial 988, there will first be a greeting message and choices of who to connect with. 988 is for everyone, but there are specially trained counselors for veterans, Spanish speakers and LGBTQI+ youth. Calls are routed to one of the national networks or a local 988 Lifeline network crisis center based on your selection. A trained crisis counselor answers the phone, listens, works to understand your problem, provides support, and shares resources, if needed. Counselors are available in English and Spanish, and there is translation for callers in more than 240 additional languages. While 988 offers immediate assistance, it can also serve as a gateway to ongoing support by connecting you with services like therapy, substance use treatment and peer support.  The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be accessed by phone, text, or chat. The goal of 988 is simple: to connect people in need with trained crisis counselors who can offer compassionate, real-time support. 988 is a confidential service. Callers do not have to give their name or any personal information unless they feel comfortable doing so.  Georouting of 988 Calls: Ensuring Localized Help A key development with 988 is the recent and ongoing implementation of “georouting” for calls made from cell phones. This ensures that when you call 988 from your cell phone, you are connected to a crisis center in your local physical area rather than one related to your phone number’s area code. This more localized response can lead to better outcomes, as it allows for a more personalized approach to crisis intervention and follow-up care. Georouting is a major step forward in ensuring that the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline can effectively serve callers through offering timely assistance. In Fairfax County, it means callers will be more likely to connect with crisis counselors who are familiar with the resources and services available in the county, including mobile crisis teams that may be deployed for additional in-person assistance. Help is Always Available The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a vital resource. Whether you're dealing with a mental health crisis, experiencing suicidal thoughts, or struggling with substance use, help is just a phone call, text, or chat away. With the recent implementation of georouting for wireless carriers, Fairfax County residents now have an even better chance of connecting directly with local crisis counselors who understand the unique resources and services available in the area. Whether it’s a referral to the Fairfax-Falls Church CSB, connection to a local therapist, or assistance in managing a crisis, the 988 Lifeline is designed to meet your needs quickly and effectively.
