Last year, more than 1,300 people in Fairfax County experienced homelessness. Many shared that they felt stuck, alone or unsure where to turn next. Finding a safe home can feel almost impossible, especially when someone is also experiencing mental health challenges.
This is where the CSB and our partner agencies come in. Our team of dedicated specialists are helping people build the skills needed to live a meaningful life in a place they call home.

Suicide Prevention Training
QPR is a free, one-hour virtual training that teaches you how to recognize the warning signs of suicide and connect someone to help. The name stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer—three simple steps anyone can learn to potentially save a life. People of all backgrounds, ages 16 and older, are encouraged to take the training.
Together, we can help make sure everyone in our community knows they matter.
Training is offered June 9 and June 27. Sign up today!

Childhood Trauma Training
Childhood experiences shape us in powerful ways, and those memories are stored not just in our minds but throughout our bodies. New discoveries in brain science and resilience research show that protection, prevention and supportive environments can make a lasting difference.
In this training, we explore how difficult experiences affect development and overall health. It also highlights practical ways we can support wellbeing across a lifetime.
Training is offered June 18 and June 30. Sign up today!

Sleep is more than rest—it’s recovery for your body and mind. Most adults need 7–8 hours of quality sleep to maintain energy, focus and heart health.
Create a calming bedtime routine, limit screen time before bed and keep your sleep environment cool and quiet for brighter, happier days.
