What's better than a compassionate counselor?
A compassionate counselor dressed like an adorable cat, of course!

Kay came in all decked out for Halloween, and it's just one more reason we love her so.

We’re spending the evening at Richmond International Raceway! Don’t worry, we’re not taking the cars for a spin, we’re attending Leadership Metro Richmond’s Board Connection event. Meeting other local nonprofits and potential new board members and community volunteers.

If you know anyone who may be interested in hearing about the work we do, and may either want to get involved or just cheer us on from the sidelines, send them our way! We’re always interested in meeting cool people.

Doug and Julie had a wonderful time in Denver at the annual Solihten Institute conference. Being in a room with so many fellow Spiritually-Integrated Psychotherapy nonprofits was profoundly inspiring.

This work we do is so, so important, and we are proud to be part of this beautiful family of folks on a similar mission to make mental health care accessible to ALL.

What is one thing you will do today to give yourself the gift of relaxation?

My favorite mini retreat is a cup of warm tea in a dark, quiet room, curled up with a good book. Yours may be a short walk around your neighborhood, listening to a calming song, enjoying some yoga or stretching, sitting or lying in the grass observing nature, or cuddling up with a loved one to watch a favorite show. It could be five minutes or thirty (or more!), but we hope you carve out some time today to care for yourself. You deserve it.

Happy Relaxation Day, friends.

Look who stopped by! Sister Cora Marie Billings is a former VIPCare Board member and an absolute legend. In 1956, at the age of 17, she became the first Black woman to be accepted into the Sisters of Mercy, and she hasn't stopped (or even slowed down) trailblazing since.

She shared stories and her heart for our community and world. And she told us that "you're not really alive yet until you turn 80. That's when life really STARTS."

Sister Cora, thank you for visiting and for your heart for VIPCare and the clients we serve. May we all have as much vibrance, joy, impact, peace, and s***k in our 80s as you.

Founded in 1967 by an ecumenical group of religious leaders, VIPCare offers hope and healing through spiritually-integrated pastoral counseling and education.

There is a place for you here whether you practice a faith tradition or are searching, whether you are looking for support as you take the next steps in your life or you feel sad, stuck or unhappy.

But we don’t preach, we listen.
