appahannock-Rapidan Community Services is one of forty community services boards in the state of Virginia. RRCS has been providing comprehensive behavioral health, intellectual disability, substance use disorder, and aging services to the citizens of Culpeper, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Madison, and Orange counties since 1972. With a behavioral health clinic in both Fauquier and Culpeper counties, and a presence in all five of our localities, RRCS strives to reach all of our residents to improve their quality of life and offer the supports that they need. From mental health and substance use services to our infant, youth, and aging services, we hope that our area’s residents can find the help they are searching for within our agency. We believe that Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services’ community supports and programs have been vital to the growth of our community and allowed individuals to network and connect with others in our region. Our community connection is an essential piece to our area’s overall health, development, and well-being. We know that 2020 has been an uphill battle with a global crisis on our hands, but RRCS continues to work towards being available and supportive of all of our community members during this unprecedented time. As of recently, many RRCS services have been able to successfully shift to an online format so that our clinicians can continue to reach their clients, prevention staff can continue to provide educational materials, and our youth are taken care of. Even our aging and transportation services have banded together to be able to boost our home delivered meals program to seniors in our five-county area.
