Community Outreach Program

What is the VBH Community Outreach Program?

The VBH Community Outreach Program (COP) is an expanded opportunity for staff to connect with the community they serve. This program strives to bring staff together both in and out of the hospital setting through various volunteer and donation drive events. Monthly projects with local organizations aim to deepen staff understanding of the importance of community programs in the primary prevention of mental health.
