WHAT WE DO
Trauma-Informed Training
Our community engagement team offers outreach and training for human and emergency service organizations in six SW GA communities to build awareness around the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to improve trauma-informed best practices.
Thomas County Afterschool Care
Our Resiliency Clubhouse serves 50+ children and their families in Thomas County year round. Our therapists work with our kids on homework, physical activities, art projects, therapy, and provide dinner before taking them home for the evening.
On-Campus Clinical Operations
We provide medication management, behavioral health therapy, and substance misuse training. Children in crisis come to us by way of the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), and Juvenile Justice (DJJ) system.
On-Campus Residential Care
Our program services evolved in 2007 to serve boys and girls in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. Room, Board & Watchful Oversight (RWBO) is what we’re commonly known for and we house ten girls and ten boys in a group home setting in our residential cottages on campus.
Community & School-Based Counseling
Our community therapists and support staff work on-site with schools districts across six counties in Southwest Georgia. We provide care for our children and their families year-round, including in-home support during holidays and the summer months.
Substance Abuse Education
The Seven Challenges program brings light to the needs our youth think they meet by using drugs, the harm it causes, risks they take, and what it entails to make changes. We raise consciousness, inspire hope, and motivate informed, internally driven decisions to drive change.
Our Mission: With God as our cornerstone, we foster healing, hope, and transformation to empower and promote resiliency in children, families and communities in Georgia.
