You don't have to be a therapist to support someone you love. You just have to be present🤍

A phone call. A walk together. A meal shared. Showing up, even when you don't know what to say. These small acts of connection are some of the most powerful things you can do for the people you love.

If this month stirred something in you, we hope you'll take that step. We're here for the conversation you've been putting off, the door you've been afraid to open, and everything in between.

Families First is here, all year long. 💚

🌸 Spring Celebration Success Story 🌸

Families First’s CHISPA Program brought families together for a joyful morning of fun, learning, and community! Families celebrated the spring season with parent-child crafts, an Easter egg hunt, gift baskets, shared brunch, and meaningful cultural sharing.

With 100% of invited participants in attendance, the event was filled with creativity, connection, and cultural pride. Families created lasting memories, strengthened relationships, and celebrated the traditions that make their community so special.

Thank you to every family who joined us and helped make this celebration such a success! 💚

We’re reliving the moments from the Jean Childs Young Forum on Empowering Single Moms with deep gratitude💚

Together, we gathered for a powerful conversation about affordability, resilience, and the real support single mothers need to thrive. Moderated by Andrea Young, the forum featured insights from Dr. Jasmine Clark, Dr. Ana LaBoy, Dr. Sydney Royes, and Soledad Ruiz, whose voices helped deepen the conversation around motherhood, community, and lasting change for Georgia families.

Thank you to our sponsors—Kaiser Permanente Georgia, United HealthCare of Georgia, Inc., Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, VyStar Credit Union, and HEALing Community Health—for helping make this important event possible. We are grateful for your partnership and your commitment to uplifting single mothers and strengthening families across Georgia.
