RRCS Prevention Services is dedicated to addressing community issues that impact citizens of all ages by implementing or supporting community prevention programs that reduce risk factors and promote protective factors associated with these issues.
RRCS Prevention Services believes that community issues need community solutions.  As a result, RRCS Prevention works closely with local community coalitions such as Healthy Culpeper to collaborate, partner, and share resources to deliver effective community prevention programs and Healthy Culpeper and its Community Partners and Committees.
RRCS Prevention and Healthy Culpeper and its Community Partners are supported by the Rusty Bowers Suicide Prevention Coalition and Team Jordan.
These are local suicide prevention coalitions made up of family members and friends of loved ones lost to suicide.
Each year the Rusty Bowers Suicide Prevention Coalition sponsors a Lifesavers Walk and a Bowers Bowl Family Fun Day and Team Jordan sponsors a Team Jordan Raffle Fundraiser. Funds raised from these events are used to support prevention programs of RRCS and Healthy Culpeper and its Community Partners that reduce the risk of suicide in the Culpeper community. Team Jordan also sponsors a Survivors for Life Support Group for those who have lost a loved one to suicide. This group meets on the 1st Monday of each month at the Culpeper Library at 7PM. Those who have lost a loved one to suicide and need support are encouraged to attend.
Community participation in these events is encouraged and donations are welcome.  Tax deductible donations can be made as follows:
