An authentic thriving community is one that maintains the health and well-being of it's entire population, and like so many communities throughout the U.S. ours is at risk. The crisis, often overlooked, is demonstrated by our high rates of drug and alcohol abuse, unresolved behavioral health issues, children in care, housing instability, recidivism, and poverty.

Northwest Georgia has a critical lack of resources and evidence-based practices that address these conditions of crisis and their impact on the community. We are ill-equipped to deal with substance abuse and other behavioral health issues – and have virtually no housing available for individuals and families to recover from crisis and transition to a self-sustaining life.

To meet the crisis head-on, Healthy Foundations was established to collectively impact our community of Northwest Georgia. This means bringing together multiple organizations that share a common agenda to uplift our own out of crisis and create an authentic thriving community for ALL who call Northwest Georgia home.
