By Voices for VA's Kids

On Monday, January 14, 2013, WCVE radio, the Richmond-area NPR station, ran an in-depth story on the use of the children’s crisis intervention funding provided by the General Assembly in 2012. Reporter Craig Carper toured the crisis stabilization unit at St. Joseph’s Villa, and the story features Campaign Coordinator Margaret Nimmo Crowe and Mary Ann Bergeron, executive director of Campaign partner the Virginia Association of Community Services Boards. The story also highlights the need for additional funding to make these services available in other parts of the state.
