Mission & Broad Goals

The Resilient Coastal Georgia coalition focuses its evidence-based endeavors on targeted populations, including elementary-high school students and teachers/counselors in public school settings, behavioral health professionals, residents in recovery, and those seeking mental health counseling. Primary partners include Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council, Coastal Georgia Indicators Coalition (Chatham Family Connection Collaborative), Gateway Behavioral Service Board, and Loop it Up Savannah. The coalition has developed workgroups to implement the Collective Impact Framework to develop trauma-informed models and capacity building across judicial systems.

​

The Resilient Coastal Georgia coalition aims to improve community well-being and increase the mental well-being of children and young people through:

• Engaging and leading the community to work collectively

• Developing a strategic school-based collaborative model of a trauma-responsive team as well as a trauma-informed and sensitive out-of-school network

• Assisting the region in systems change and capacity building to support resiliency in children and families experiencing trauma

• Developing a robust and consistent model of response across behavioral health providers
