Mission & Broad Goals

Resilient & United Communities of South Georgia serves populations that experience poverty, have limited access to transportation resources, and may have a lack of knowledge about available services. These rural South Georgian communities have seen increased concerns of adverse mental health, suicide, human trafficking, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). 

​

Therefore, RUCSG’s mission is to create positive change by bringing resources together to improve people’s lives in local communities through:

• Continuing to develop mental health awareness through training and education

• Focusing on suicide prevention in youth up to age 26

• Evaluating training outcomes to assess the impact on trauma-informed awareness and education

• Promoting resiliency in South Georgia through a unified trauma-informed response
