Criminal behavior that results in charges can sometimes stem from the challenges associated with substance use and mental health issues. Often times, these behaviors occur when a substance use or mental health issue goes undiagnosed and untreated. To reduce these incidents and support the health and wellness of individuals in the community, the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB) supports three specialty dockets in collaboration with the Office of the Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney (OCA). These programs offer individuals the opportunity to engage in behavioral health services as an alternative to incarceration.

 Lock & Talk
Lock & Talk Virginia is a collaborative initiative of the Suicide Prevention Alliance of Northern Virginia (SPAN). Locking medication and firearms in addition to talking about safety can save lives, reduce stigma, and encourage help-seeking behaviors. Learn more about obtaining free locking medication boxes and trigger locks for firearms.

According to Mental Health America, “Pride is a time to celebrate identity and the strength to live openly and authentically, even when the world doesn’t always make it easy.” Take time to connect with supportive communities, practice self-care, and seek professional support when needed. Courage can be empowering as well as exhausting, and taking care of yourself along the way will lead to more positive mental and physical health.
