Services, created in 1972 by a joint resolution of Danville City
Council and the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, is the
Community Services Board that provides mental health, mental

citizens of our City and County. A 15-member Board of
Directors, which is appointed by Danville City Council and the
Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, establishes policy and
direction for the Agency. The Board of Directors contracts
with its Executive Director to lead, direct, and supervise the
Agency's day-to-day operations. Today, Danville-Pittsylvania
Community Services has grown to be a large employer in Southside
Virginia, with more than 250 staff members and an annual operating
budget in excess of 15 million dollars. In Fiscal Year 2007,
our Agency served 4,009 different individuals through its mental
health, mental retardation, and substance abuse divisions of
service. An additional 2,956 individuals were involved in
the Agency's prevention programs.
