Buncombe County Directory of Senior Services
Website: http://www.main.nc.us/Social_Services/
If you are seeking services for yourself, a loved one, or another senior adult in Buncombe County, we hope you will find the information contained in the pages of this Senior Adult HELP Directory helpful. The directory is a joint project of the ACC (Aging Coordinating Consortium of Buncombe County) and the 2-1-1 Call Center of the United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County. Our aim is to provide information to those who seek it and inspire others to fill gaps where services are not available. This online directory is very comprehensive.
Good news! The on-line System of Care/Child & Family Team (SoC/CFT) training that we have been working on at the state level for the last year is live! Check out the website www.nccti.org. The online training covers the 11 required contact hours for SoC trainings for Day Treatment and Intensive In-home services credentialing. Training can be accomplished for free, but if you want the certificate, it is $45.00/module.
This may be an easier way to get your folks trained at their convenience. If you choose to use the online training for credentialing of SoC, please email Rose Stouder to let her know how this type of training delivery works out for your staff. Live monthly trainings are still available, although the registration is full through the calendar year. Please check out our website in December to find training dates for winter.
For training opportunities in Buncombe County sponsored by the Buncombe County Children's Collaborative, please see Buncombe County Resources.
For questions regarding these trainings, technical assistance, or to plan SOC training in your county, agency, etc. please contact:

The Asheville Radical Mental Health Collective
(ARMHC or The Collective) is an informal peer support group of people with diverse perspectives on mental health.
We are inclusive and nonjudgmental. We are not associated with any particular way of thinking. We share leadership, experiences, responsibilities, resources and real human support. We support all positive possibilities for self-care and healing. We accept and embrace ourselves, each other, and our choices for wellness. We work toward a positive viewpoint of mental health. Decisions for the group will be made using consensus and participatory democracy models (basically, if you show up and participate, you will have a say in what goes on). Our structure is organic, living, breathing and changeable.
The Asheville Radical Mental Health Collective meets every Monday night, 7-9 p.m., at the YWCA which is located at 185 S. French Broad Avenue in Asheville, NC.
For more information, please call Inel at 828-251-4699 or email Jayne at
