Resilience is a Superpower

For 5 years, we have been on a mission to build a stronger, more resilient Georgia.


💥Because we believe resilience is a superpower.


You are officially invited to celebrate our 5th birthday! We want to honor all that we have accomplished together with a rejuvenating morning of virtual yoga and meditation to mark this exciting milestone.


🎉See below for celebration details!


We are working towards a future where every child in Georgia grows up to be a resilient adult, supported by a culture of prevention, healing, and trauma-informed care. We currently reach 120 of Georgia’s 159 counties. 


🌟You can help Resilient Georgia reach all 159 counties by the end of this year!

 

Donate today and receive a special gift to show our appreciation. For every monthly donation of at least $25/month or $50 one-time gift, you'll receive a commemorative T-shirt or dry bag.


Since our inception, Resilient Georgia’s efforts have led to significant progress: Georgia’s youth now experience a lower prevalence of mental illness and greater access to care. According to the 2024 Mental Health in America Report, Georgia has climbed from 22nd to 5th in youth mental health rankings—a testament to the impact of the work of our 16 regional coalitions and 900+ partners throughout the state.


Let’s continue this momentum! Help us continue to expand our impact and ensure that every child across Georgia has access to the resources they need to thrive. Together, we can make a difference!


We look forward to celebrating our shared work and accomplishments with you on Nov. 14!


Sincerely,


The Resilient Georgia team
