The VACPN Founders Scholarship in honor of Irma Mahone R.N., M.S.N., Ph.D. and Jeanne Fox, Ph.D. they had the insight and vision to see the need for an organization for community psychiatric nurses to be able to come together and network, share information and problem solve. Community psychiatric nursing is a specialty, and not many nurses are aware of what all a community psych nurse does, or the demands put upon them. Our clients range from first psychotic episodes, Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance addiction, Intellectual Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities and more. They range from children to adults, male and female. Within our organization we work with clients who are Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI), Mandatory Outpatient Treatment (MOT), VASAP, and so many other individuals
