The Richmond & Henrico Regional Resource Guide to Substance Use, Mental, and Behavioral Health was created to help people find support more easily. It is designed for individuals, families, service providers, and referral partners who need clear and up-to-date information.
The guide began in 2023, when the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts received a one-time grant from the National Association of County and City Health Officials. This funding supported community-led work to reduce overdoses and other harms related to substance use. Resource mapping specialists documented services across the region and created a comprehensive guide to help connect people to care. That initial project was completed in June 2024.
Today, the Resource Guide is a public directory of mental health, substance use, and behavioral health services in Richmond and Henrico.
The guide includes:
- An A–Z list of community resources
- Simple descriptions of services
- Information for individuals, families, providers, and referral partners
- A map to help people find service locations
The goal is to help people understand what services are available and choose what works best for them.
