VIRGINIA RESOURCES
The UP Center provides more than 20 critical support services for children and families in our community, including mental health counseling, parenting education and support, youth mentoring, foster care and adoption, housing and financial counseling, and services for people with disabilities.
Their goal is to work with children and families who want to rebuild, gain education, and heal from their experiences with substance use and mental health disorders. In a world where the cycle of addiction negatively impacts the family, our focus is to provide support in the recovery process not only geared towards healing the individual, but also in healing their families.
