MHAF COVID-19 UPDATE
Mental Health America of Fredericksburg remains steadfast in our mission to improve the mental health of our community during this time of growing anxiety.
MHAF will continue to provide assistance by phone (Helpline 540-371-2704), email (mhafred@mhafred.org), and through social media.
Both the mental and physical health of our community are of great importance, so we are following the advice of the Virginia Department of Health (VHD) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to suspend all in-person gatherings: support groups, trainings, and social events for at least the next 8 weeks.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
According to the high risk nature of those that we serve in our Senior Visitors Program, MHAF has adapted our weekly visits from in-person to by virtual means. Our trained volunteers keep in touch with their seniors by phone, email, and through social media. Those who helped seniors with running errands are still performing these services and leaving materials on the doorstep, so as to not expose our seniors further.
Our Walk for Mental Wellness scheduled for May 2nd will be rescheduled for October 17th.
The celebration of the 20th anniversary of our Senior Visitors Program scheduled for April 7th will be rescheduled for later this fall.
We wish health and safety to all of you.
