Friends of Loudoun Mental Health (FLMH) has been active in Loudoun County for over 60 years, serving those with mental illness with financial housing assistance and through advocacy for increased and accessible services, and by increasing awareness of the need for good mental health and the acceptance of the people among us who constantly deal with a mental illness. We are involved in an effort to prevent suicide, especially among teens, and in supporting those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
We are extremely active as we are both a governing and working board. We are seeking members who have an interest in working to provide financial assistance to Loudoun County residents experiencing disabling mental illnesses, who are willing to speak out as activists to help end discrimination, and who want to support and promote educational programs to make the community aware of mental health issues.
If you are someone who wants to make a difference for people with serious mental illness, or you know someone, please reach out to me. This organization is on the verge of doing even more exciting things to provide a better life for the mentally ill and for doing our part to erase the stigma associated with mental illness so others may be willing to seek treatment and get their lives back on track. We are especially interested in new members who have an interest in legislative activities in all levels of government to keep the Board informed of proposed bills associated with services and delivery of those services for individuals and families dealing with mental illness.
We also would welcome individuals who have an interest in working with our investments, fundraising, project management and outreach.
More than mere talk, Friends of Loudoun Mental Health provides direct assistance to Loudoun County residents disabled by mental illness. We invite you to read more about the work we do and encourage you to partner with us on our mission to better the lives of our neighbors suffering with this debilitating disease at www.loudounfriends.org.
If all of this interests you, please reach out to us.
