In 2017, a mini community grant enabled a private mental health practice to address the urgent mental health needs of under-served residents in West Georgia. Through this grant, four dedicated mental health clinicians provided therapy to a substantial number of individuals, fostering greater mental health awareness and education among professionals and community members alike. This initiative empowered our community by highlighting the impacts of mental illness on individuals and society. While the grant-funded services were transformative, they were also brief due to resource constraints, leaving many without ongoing support. This experience underscored the critical need for sustained, accessible mental health services to help individuals not just survive, but truly thrive. Multiple barriers were discovered which prevented these individuals from THRIVING. Thus, the formation of Rebounding With A Purpose (RWAP)–where we provide accessible and affordable mental health treatment, while addressing barriers to mental health service through community collaborations.
