From the Article: Fredericksburg-area program keeps seniors connected
“We have gotten to the point that maybe we have undervalued that human connection and if COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that we need that connection, all of us, especially our seniors,” said Laurie Black, who coordinates Senior Visitors locally. “We need that human connection and someone to share our stories with, someone who cares and someone is there just for you.”

Mental Health America of Fredericksburg supports mental wellness across our community.
Since 1955, we have identified gaps in the delivery of mental health services and created unique programs to meet those needs. Besides the programs reported above – Senior Visitors & HelpLine – we currently offer Suicide Prevention Education for Teens and Support Groups.
