VIP Goes Back to School

Summer is still in full swing but VIP is gearing up for the new school year by launching our annual Back Pack Drive to help foster children and others we work with be prepared to head back to class. Help give a child the tools they need to reach their potential.

Meet the Board

The VIP Community Mental Health Center is pleased to announce two new additions to its Board of Directors. Meet the newest members of the team and all the dedicated staff and volunteers who support VIP's mission and vision.

Stronger H.E.A.R.T., Safer Children

100 H.E.A.R.T. Members in 2010!

As the number of children being seen at VIP continues to grow so does the need for the kind of direct, impactful support that H.E.A.R.T., our membership organization, can offer a family. Join our new campaign to build a bigger, stronger H.E.A.R.T. by the end of the year, and ensure that even more children and families are safe from violence and fear.

Make a Difference in the Life of a Child

Mentoring or tutoring a child can be an amazing experience for the child and the adult. VIP has special programs to offer volunteer mentors and tutors to children who have experienced trauma and need positive role models. Explore the ways you can be a VIP Volunteer!
