We are proud of these six participants and their achievement in the STAR program! We also appreciate our partnership with the Fairfax County Sheriff. For more information on the STAR program, go to: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/sheriff/star-striving-achieve-recovery-commencement
Six participants in the Sheriff’s Office STAR program (Striving to Achieve Recovery) completed the 72-hour Peer Recovery Specialist (PRS) training. Peers have common life experiences with the people they are serving – mental illness and/or substance use disorders. Once a participant completes 500 hours of leadership and mentoring service, they will be eligible to take the state PRS exam to become a Certified PRS. All the participants expressed gratitude for the training and the STAR program. “It is not what I imagined for my time being incarcerated,” said J. #recoveryispossible Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board

Fairfax County, Virginia - Fairfax County has begun a strategic planning process with the community to shape the future together for 2020 and beyond.
September is National Recovery Month!
National Recovery Month is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life.
The 2021 National Recovery Month theme, “Recovery is For Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,” reminds people in recovery and those who support them that no one is alone in the journey through recovery.
Everyone's journey is different, but we are all in this together.
Recognize. Talk. Act.
Su***de is Preventable.
Everyone struggles with emotional pain at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know when someone is suffering and needs help. Some people struggling may find it too difficult to talk or ask for help. People who are suffering in silence often have feelings of shame, isolation and hopelessness. You can help.
