Right Help. Right Now.

Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Right Help, Right Now plan ensures Virginians get immediate behavioral health support before, during, and after a crisis.

By expanding 988, mobile crisis units, and crisis centers, it improves care for children, adults, and families, reduces emergency department strain, and supports law enforcement. The plan also strengthens substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, positioning Virginia as a leader in behavioral health reform.
