Legacy Behavioral Health

Our mission is to empower hope and wellness through exceptional, personalized care.

Legacy Behavioral Health is a public nonprofit organization operated by the South Georgia Community Service Board. Community Service Boards are legal entities created by House Bill 100 in July, 1994, to govern Public Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services. These services were previously provided by the Department of Human Resources, Division of Mental Health. Public fundin

g for the Community Service Boards is provided by the state through a system of regional funding and planning authorities. These funding authorities are called Regional Boards and the public funding for Legacy Behavioral Health is through a contractual relationship with the Region 4 Regional Board. Legacy is licensed by the State of Georgia and complies with the state standards.

This morning we joined TruthPoint to train their Children’s Ministry and Youth Ministry volunteers, and it was a good Saturday.

Legacy Behavioral Health led QPR training, teaching volunteers how to recognize and respond when a young person may be struggling. The Georgia Red Cross taught hands only CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. And Lanier Family Connection conducted Mandated Reporting Training.

When the adults around our kids know what to look for and what to do, our whole community gets safer. We are thankful for volunteers who give up their Saturday morning to make that happen.

If your church, school, or organization wants Mandated Reporting Training, reach out to us. We would love to come to you.

Community Connections in Action!
A big thank you to Goodwill Industries of the Southern Rivers for hosting a wonderful Community Resource Fair and inviting local community partners to come together, connect with residents, and share valuable resources and services.
Legacy Behavioral Health was proud to be part of this event and help connect individuals and families with support available in their community. We are grateful for organizations like Goodwill Southern Rivers that create opportunities for collaboration and make it easier for people to find the resources they need.
When community partners come together, stronger communities are built!

We checked in with Legacy Behavioral Health Therapist, Lindsay Thomas, LMSW, for this Wellness Wednesday, and she had this to share...
" I prioritize myself by listening to what my mind and body need in the moment and giving myself permission to adjust. Some days that means slowing down, resting, and recharging; other days it may mean movement, connecting with others, or setting healthy boundaries. By checking in with myself and responding with intention rather than obligation, I can support my well-being and show up as my best self personally and professionally.
Wellness begins when we pause, listen to what our mind and body need, and respond with care.
As therapists at Legacy Behavioral Health, we support client well-being by meeting individuals where they are emotionally, mentally, and behaviorally. Through a person-centered, safe, and nonjudgmental approach, we help clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. We tailor evidence-based interventions—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches—to each person's strengths, needs, goals, and readiness for change.
Through empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative goal-setting, we help clients build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, foster resilience, and create meaningful change.
Well-being begins when people feel seen, heard, and supported exactly where they are."

Whether you’re uninsured, covered by Medicaid, a Georgia Care Management Organization (CMO), or have private insurance, our team can help you understand the options that may be available to you.*

If you’ve been putting off reaching out because you weren’t sure where to begin, start with a conversation. Give us a call. You don’t have to have all the answers before asking for help.

Overdose Prevention Starts with Support, Connection & Care.

August is Overdose Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about overdose, promote harm reduction, and highlight the resources available to help save lives.

Legacy Behavioral Health’s Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Program takes a comprehensive, team-based approach to recovery. Through medications, medical and therapy services, groups, case management, and peer support, our team works alongside individuals throughout their recovery journey.

As MAT Team Lead Jacquelyn Beuzekom shared:
“We assist individuals throughout their recovery journey using a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to harm reduction. Our services play an important role in reducing harm and helping prevent overdose. Our MAT program also installs Naloxone Distribution Boxes in all 10 counties we serve, providing intranasal Narcan to anyone who may need it. We’re very excited about the growth of this program and the opportunity to make these lifesaving resources more accessible throughout our communities.”

💜 Recovery is possible. Harm reduction saves lives. Narcan saves lives.

This Overdose Prevention Month, we’re proud to continue expanding access to treatment, support, and lifesaving resources across South Georgia.

Legacy Behavioral Health was honored to provide QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) su***de prevention training to the clients of the Goodwill Career Center! 💙
This was truly a wonderful group to teach—engaged, thoughtful, and eager to learn how to recognize the warning signs of su***de and connect someone with help. Every person trained becomes another link in the chain of support for our community.
Thank you to the Goodwill Career Center for partnering with us to promote mental health awareness and su***de prevention. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate South Georgia—one conversation at a time.
