On August 31, communities across North Carolina united to honor those lost to overdose and to support individuals and families affected by substance use. International Overdose Awareness Day reminds us of the importance of intervention and recovery efforts to save lives and prevent future tragedies. Vaya Health recognizes the ongoing substance use crisis impacting our communities. In the past year, we have distributed over 800 NARCAN kits to help prevent overdoses and support those on the path to recovery. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the RISE UP event in Mitchell County to raise awareness and support these efforts. If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid use, please reach out to our Behavioral Health Crisis Line at 1-800-849-6127. For more information: https://lnkd.in/ddcv7Dp8

At Vaya Health, caring for our communities isn't a business opportunity--it’s our mission.
About us
Vaya Health is whole-person health organization helping those with behavioral health and intellectual or developmental disabilities connect with the right providers on their journey toward healing, recovery and hope. At Vaya Health, our goal is to embrace innovation, adapt to a changing environment and maximize resources for the long-term benefit of the people and communities we serve. We maintain a network of highly qualified providers, respond to individual and family needs on a local level and effectively manage public service dollars. Additionally, through a robust public outreach program, we educate the community about mental health, substance use disorder and I/DD issues and available services — individuals in need can speak with a representative any time. Through reinvestment initiatives, we are demonstrating every day how public managed care can benefit both the people who receive our services and the taxpayers of North Carolina. Every day, we work with each other, our providers, our partners and the people we serve to develop the best and most-needed services for a healthier North Carolina.

At Vaya Health, we recognize the unique mental health challenges faced by minority communities, from cultural stigma, language barriers, economic disparities, and discrimination. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can access the care they need. This July, in honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, let's raise awareness and create more supportive communities for all individuals. Inspired by Bebe Moore Campbell, a literary trailblazer and co-founder of NAMI Urban Los Angeles, we honor her legacy and her fight against stigma. Campbell's work revolutionized mental health care in underserved populations highlighting the need for inclusive and equitable resources.
