For 50 years, the Virginia Treatment Center for Children (VTCC) has provided mental health treatment for the children of Virginia. As part of the anniversary celebration, it has launched an ongoing exhibit of art created by current and former patients of VTCC. VTCC is the pediatric service of VCU’s Department of Psychiatry and a service of the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.

The inaugural show features photographs by Amy Wirtala of Fredericksburg, VA. Amy views the world through Asperger’s Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. Her photography will be on display through the month of May.

VTCC is located at 515 North 10th Street Richmond, VA 23298. The lobby is open to the public, so please stop by to see Amy’s work.

The Campaign for Children’s Mental Health congratulates Amy on her success!
