Today marks 20 years since September 11, 2001. Though time moves forward, this day will forever remain frozen in the hearts and minds of our city and country. We will never forget the nearly 3,000 brave individuals who lost their lives that day.

Each year approximately 800,000 people take their own lives - that's one life lost too soon every 40 seconds. On World Suicide Prevention Day, we'd like to take a moment to remind those who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or considering self-harm that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Our caring and experienced team at VIP Community Services is waiting on the other end of the phone to talk you through your difficult time. There is no shame in reaching out for help - your life matters! Call (718) 466-8244 now.

Every September, National Recovery Month is observ

Every September, National Recovery Month is observed to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life.

"Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery, just as we celebrate health improvements made by those who are managing other health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. This observance reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover."

At VIP Community Services, we believe that every individual should have access to the care and support they need. We are proud to be a resource to The Bronx community not only during Recovery Month but every day.

Generations of children aren't familiar with illne

Generations of children aren't familiar with illnesses that were once a common cause of death. Why? Because Edward Jenner’s successful use of cowpox material to create immunity to smallpox in 1796 quickly made the practice widespread. His method underwent medical and technological changes over the next 200 years, and eventually resulted in the eradication of smallpox.

Immunization works and we encourage you to protect yourself, your family, and your community by getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Learn more about our Vaccine Clinics at VIPServices.org.
