Mission

Our mission is to provide the highest quality of mental health, developmental, substance abuse, and prevention services and supports to the citizens of the City of Danville and Pittsylvania County. These services and supports are focused upon unlocking each individual's potential for self-determination, empowerment, recovery, resiliency and health, and the highest possible level of participation in all aspects of community life.

What We Do

Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services, created in 1972 by a joint resolution of Danville City Council and the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, is the Community Services Board that provides mental health, intellectual disability, substance abuse, and prevention services to the citizens of our City and County. A 15-member Board of Directors, which is appointed by Danville City Council and the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, establishes policy and direction for the Agency. The Board of Directors contracts with its Executive Director to lead, direct, and supervise the Agency's day-to-day operations. Today, Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services has grown to be a large employer in Southside Virginia, with more than 270 staff members and an annual operating budget in excess of 17 million dollars. In Fiscal Year 2015, our Agency directly served 12,772 individuals through its behavioral health, developmental, and prevention divisions of service.
Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services is a growing organization with a rich history of community service that strives to unlock the potential for growth and recovery in the individuals we have the honor and privilege to serve.
