This week our CEO is in Washington DC sharing the incredible stories of our families! Yesterday we were proud to join leaders from and on Capitol Hill to share the impact of prevention and family support programs happening right here at home.

After meeting with 13 different members of Georgia’s House and Senate delegation, we’re reminded that when we invest in families, we strengthen entire communities.

Thankful for the opportunity to help make sure prevention has a voice in these important conversations. 🏛️

Prevention is an investment in ALL of our children.
