People + Families

People and families are at the center of Georgia’s System of Care. Their experiences, insights, and feedback guide decision-making, inform policy solutions, and help create a system that is more responsive, accessible, and equitable.

Families share their lived expertise to strengthen planning, evaluation, and advocacy efforts across state and community partners. Mindworks works to ensure that youth and family voices are not only heard but embedded into the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of services. By elevating their needs and perspectives, the System of Care becomes more effective, more compassionate, and more aligned with what truly helps children and young adults thrive.
