RPSV serves ~9,000 adults with mental health, substance abuse, and homelessness issues annually. Each of these individuals has a story to tell of facing their issues head-on and overcoming them to live the life of their dreams.
RPSV is searching for at least five individuals to capture individual stories and tell them in short, pithy, and compelling stories. Stories can be captured via written word, powerful short quotes, or video clips (per the wishes and consent of the participant). We would like to have at least one storyteller per program site (in Annandale, Arlington, Merrifield, Reston, and South County Alexandria).
Your materials will be used on our website, in our e-newsletter, and on our social media channels. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in building their professional portfolio in the area of social media and communications.

Description
Recovery Program Solutions of Virginia is a 501-c-3 nonprofit corporation in Virginia.
Recovery Program Solutions of Virginia (RPSV) was founded in 2011. The organization was created to meet the unmet needs of adults and seniors with mental health and substance abuse issues in Northern Virginia. RPSV currently serves residents in the Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax/Falls Church, Loudoun County, and Prince William County communities and is actively seeking to expand to other jurisdictions to help even more individuals in need.
RPSV’s programs maximize participant self-determination; promote access to treatment; and focus on decreasing dependence on psychiatric hospitalizations.
Since its inception, RPSV has helped thousands of adults and seniors receive transformative support to help them reach their full potential. The demographics of those RPSV serves includes adults, ages 18-59, and seniors, ages 60+. Two-thirds of RPSV’s clients are over age 50. Its oldest participant is 83.
RPSV meets those it serves "where they are" and provides them with a safe place to address the issues they are facing. It provides peer support and other key services to help individuals live independently.
