In August 2019, Dr. Donald D. Denton and The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Ledlum-Bates traveled to Liberia to meet with groups of community and religious leaders to explore ways to support mental health treatment and access across the country.

Since that time, dialogue and information has continued to flow between Liberia and VIPCare's offices. To continue the educational outreach and training, psychological textbooks and supporting materials have been collected, assembled and shipped to Liberia including information on trauma and recovery, as well as substance abuse treatment (shown in photo).

Dr. Denton and Dr. Bates will return to meet with groups of community and religious leaders in Liberia this August 2021.

For more information, or if you would like to support their travel to Liberia and mental health educational programs, please contact VIPCare at 804-282-8332 or development@vipcare.org
