“I believe that not just one person is involved in actively promoting recovery for the individuals we serve. I believe that everyone here at Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute creates an environment of hope and possibility. Everyone plays a role in an individual's success, and integration back into the community, including the individual. I am proud when an individual is ready to be discharged after meeting their treatment goals and I like to think that I had a little something to do with that through supporting them in their times of need and helping them grow in their recovery.” -Yasmin L., Psychosocial Rehabilitation Aide
"I started employment with Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute in 2014 and it is truly an exciting, educational and empowering experience as a healthcare professional. Not only do I enjoy working at the Institute, but also I appreciate that I’m considered as apart of Virginia's Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services as a whole. I adore that the Institute's vision incorporates hope, and that vision contributes to fulfilling a life of possibilities for all Virginians at a larger scale. I am beyond grateful that members of the community, who receive our services, allow me to contribute to their recovery on a daily basis. Every day is not only a new day, but also a rewarding day. Our organization is truly the definition of "You get out, what you put in" and sometimes more!" -Randi Harris, CTRS
