You don't wait for an emergency to learn where the fire extinguisher is. The same idea applies to mental health.

Before the school year gets busy, take a few minutes to learn what support is available in your community.

📌 Know your child's school counselor or mental health support contacts.
📌 Save your local Community Services Board's information.
📌 Talk with your child about trusted adults they can turn to.
📌 Know how to access crisis support.
📌 Keep medications and fi****ms safely secured at home.

And remember: 988 is available 24/7 by call or text for people experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis—or for someone concerned about a loved one.

Being prepared isn't about expecting something to go wrong. It's about making sure you know what to do if it does. This school year, let's be prepared to support our kids—mind, body, and heart.

🇺🇸 MOUNTAIN MOVERS .... BUCHANAN COUNTY, VA
Friday, September 11th... 12:00 Pm... Buchanan County Public Library .... Makers Space Room
September 11th is a day our nation will never forget. It is a day marked by terrorism, loss, and the deaths of innocent people... leaving families and communities forever changed.
Today, our communities are facing another form of destruction.
Addiction is taking our loved ones.Drugs are destroying families. Stigma keeps people from asking for help.And too many lives are being lost.
At this month's Mountain Movers Coalition meeting, we will be discussing and planning the upcoming Buchanan County Recovery Court event and how we can come together as a community to support the participants, strengthen this program, and help change the way people see recovery.
This isn't about judging people for where they've been.
It's about standing beside them as they move toward where they're going.
Let's put an end to the stigma.Let's stand against the destruction addiction brings.Let's remember those we've lost.And let's support those who are still fighting for their lives.
Come be with us. Come be part of the solution.
Let's show Buchanan County.....and the world... that recovery is possible.

WE DO RECOVER. ❤️🇺🇸

Two opportunities next month to learn what to do if someone is having suicidal thoughts or behaviors…make plans to attend!

*UPDATE- the August 18 training has been cancelled and consolidated with the August 24 training at the SWCC Southern Gap Center and the August 26 training at the Russell County Career & Technology Center has been moved to Monday, August 17 from 5-8 pm. Current schedule is listed below & on graphic*

In partnership with the Regional Adult Education program, CMCSB Prevention Services will offer five, free opportunities for Living Works safeTALK su***de-alert helper & Rapid Revive trainings throughout August 2026 in Buchanan, Russell, and Tazewell Counties. These trainings are free and open to community members:

safeTALK is a three-hour training in su***de alertness developed by Living Works. It helps participants recognize a person with thoughts of su***de and connect them with resources who can help them in choosing to live. Participants don’t need any formal preparation to attend the training—anyone age 15 or older who wants to make a difference can learn the safeTALK steps.

Rapid REVIVE! is a brief training on how to use life-saving naloxone in an opioid-overdose situation. Following the training, participants will receive free naloxone and a prevention resource bag.
