The ribbon is cut!
Over 150 people attended the Ribbon-cutting Ceremony for PRS Tysons on Thursday, August 6th on Old Meadow Road in McLean. PRS (formerly Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services) is a 501(c)(3) community-based organization that has been providing skills training and rehabilitation services to Northern Virginia residents in recovery from serious mental illness since 1963. PRS Tysons is the new site housing two prior Day Programs: PRS Reston and PRS Falls Church. Services offered at PRS Tysons include Psychosocial Rehabilitation Day Programming, Employment Services and individualized Mental Health Support Services provided in community locations.
Fairfax County Supervisors Linda Smyth (Providence District) and John Foust (Dranesville District), VA Delegate Ken Plum (36th District) and PRS Chairman of the Board Richard Brewster helped PRS President and CEO Wendy Gradison cut the ribbon officially opening PRS Tysons. PRS staff and clients were joined by friends and supporters who wanted to see, first hand, the terrific new programs that emanate from PRS Tysons. Guests heard personal stories from two clients, one receiving services from the Day Program and the other from Employment and Mental Health Support Services. Lunch and facility tours were provided by the Day Program clients, and slide shows and videos about PRS’ services and supports were running in various rooms for guests to watch.
