Barrow County Family Connection encourages our community to grow in understanding so we can better support one another.

Barrow County Family Connection believes that compassion and understanding are key to supporting individuals and families impacted by behavioral health challenges.

When we understand mental health challenges can be at the root of addiction, we start asking “how can we help?” with no judgement. That question alone can make a big difference. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support

Barrow County Family Connection recognizes that life transitions can be especially challenging for individuals and families in our community, and supportive communication can make a meaningful difference.

Respectful communication about mental health is especially important during times of transition, including housing instability or reentry into the community. Compassionate words signal safety when people need it most. https://www.samhsa.gov/resource/ebp/permanent-supportive-housing-evidence-based-practices-ebp-kit

At Barrow County Family Connection, we recognize that mental health is part of every family’s story in some way.

Mental health touches every one of us either directly or through someone we love. Let’s commit to talking about it with the care and honesty it deserves. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/what-is-mental-health/facts

Barrow County Family Connection encourages our community to approach mental health conversations with empathy and respect.

When we focus on the person and not the diagnosis, we create more supportive conversations about mental health. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone/how-to-talk-to-someone-about-help
