Project Title: Mental Health Counseling for Children, Youth, and their Families
Project Description:

TACC’s affordable Mental Health Counseling program continues to make a huge impact by providing essential mental health services, as well as support and training to strengthen families who are low-income, uninsured/under-insured, and otherwise low-resourced. TACC’s counselors work with clients from all socio-economic backgrounds to address life transitions, anxiety, grief, addiction, family relationships and other areas that impact mental wellbeing, daily living, and productive contributions to family and community. TACC has highly trained counselors working directly with children, youth, and adults, individuals, couples, groups, and families to address issues unique to them and their families and place them on a track to healing. TACC helps clients become healthy, whole, and contributing members of the community, by helping individuals develop coping and life skills to get back on their feet and re-engaged with their lives. TACC partners with peer organizations in Atlanta as a vehicle to extend services deepening the impact throughout the city. TACC has recently began partnering with the Atlanta Children’s Shelter, offering mental health services to both children and women.

Counseling services and programming are crucial in supporting individuals and their families struggling in all areas of life. Many children and their families within Metro Atlanta are overlooked and go without counseling services of the mental health recovery system. TACC’s professionally trained/licensed counselors are a critical community resource, and services are trauma-informed. Clients and therapists work together to develop a specific and individualized course of treatment for each family. Our mental health services are available to anyone in need based on ability to pay. This is the core tenet of TACC’s mission. TACC eliminates cost barriers by providing therapeutic services on a sliding scale. As a part of this strategy, clients may access other complimenting services at TACC, including support groups and educational opportunities. These services are also available on a sliding-scale fee.
