Letter to the editor: Counseling Service of Addison County is here for you
At the Counseling Service of Addison County (CSAC), we want our community to know: We are here for you. No matter your background, immigration status, or identity, if you need mental health or substance use support, you are welcome at CSAC.
We understand that recent executive orders have created fear and uncertainty, particularly for our New American, immigrant, and LGBTQIA neighbors. We want to assure you that seeking help at CSAC is safe.
People can access our crisis services anonymously, and we do not ask about or track immigration status. Your personal information is protected by federal law (HIPAA), and we cannot share it without your consent — except in rare cases, such as when required by a court order, during a medical emergency, or when there is an immediate threat to safety.
If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out. CSAC offers a range of crisis and urgent care services, including Interlude, our alternative crisis support model in the Marble Works, Mobile Crisis response, and rapid access appointments. You can reach us anytime by calling our local crisis number at 802-388-7641 or calling and texting 988.
In uncertain times, community and connection matter more than ever. CSAC remains committed to providing top-notch, compassionate, confidential care to everyone who seeks help. You are not alone. We are here.
