We are incredibly proud of our own Hannah Grant for making history in Georgia as a certified member of the first-ever Maternal Peer Support cohort, graduating yesterday!

This groundbreaking training brought together inspiring women committed to supporting mothers! Along the way, powerful stories were shared, meaningful relationships built, and a strong foundation was created for future maternal peer support services across our state.

At Carroll County Mental Health Advocates and The Recovery Spot of West Georgia, we are honored to walk alongside mothers on their journey, reminding them that they are never alone. Congratulations, Hannah, on this remarkable achievement and for helping pave the way for others who will follow in your footsteps!

This is the kind of impact that creates real change. 🙏

If we want change, we have to BE the change and that’s exactly what is happening through Maternal Peer Support. 💙

In observance of Memorial Day, our offices will be closed as we take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸 Our support groups will still take place in the evening at their regularly scheduled times.

We are grateful for their courage, service, and sacrifice. Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. ❤️🤍💙

🌄✨ Recovery is not “one size fits all.” 💚

One of the most beautiful things about recovery is that there are MANY different pathways people can take. What works for one person may not work for another — and that’s okay.

Many people “season” their recovery journey with different supports, tools, and communities throughout different seasons of life. Recovery is personal, and there is no wrong pathway if it is helping someone heal, grow, and stay alive.

Some examples of recovery pathways include:

✨ 12-Step Programs
• Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
• Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
• Celebrate Recovery
• Al-Anon
• TraumAnon
• Codependents Anonymous (CoDA)
• Crystal M**h Anonymous (CMA)
• Gamblers Anonymous (GA)
• and more…

✨ Faith-Based Recovery
• Church communities
• Spiritual mentorship
• Christian recovery programs
• Prayer and scripture-based healing
• and more…

✨ Clinical & Therapeutic Recovery
• Individual therapy
• Group counseling
• Trauma therapy
• Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
• Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
• Residential treatment
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• and more…

✨ Medication Assisted Recovery
• MAT/MOUD programs
• Psychiatric medication management
• Recovery supported by medical professionals
• and more…

✨ Peer & Community Support
• Certified Peer Specialists
• Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs)
• Recovery coaching / Peer Support
• Sober living environments
• Community support groups
• NAMI
• and more…

✨ Holistic & Wellness Approaches
• Exercise & fitness
• Yoga & meditation
• Nutrition
• Art & music therapy
• Journaling & mindfulness
• and more…

One of the biggest parts of what we do here is helping individuals FIND their pathway. Sometimes people come to us knowing exactly what they need. Other times, they simply know they are tired and want something different.

That’s okay too.

Our job is not to force one pathway on anyone — our job is to walk alongside people, connect them with resources, support them, and help them discover what recovery looks like for THEM.

Because recovery is possible. And there is hope for everyone. 💚

Start your morning with peace, movement, and restoration. Drop by this morning for Yoga and take a moment to reset your mind, body, and spirit. Everyone is welcome.

✨ Restore & Rise ✨

Starting today, we’re creating space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect. 🧘‍♀️

Join us for a gentle, beginner-friendly wellness yoga class designed with healing in mind. Whether you’ve never stepped on a mat or just need a peaceful place to land, this is for you.

💛 All bodies welcome
💛 All skill levels welcome
💛 Judgment-free space

Come as you are. Leave a little lighter. 🌿
