Carroll County Mental Health Advocates

04/08/2026

This May, we’re turning movement into a message.

Starting May 1st, one of our dedicated Recovery Spot Advisory Board members will be taking on an incredible challenge: running a full marathon distance *every single day* for 31 days straight.

That’s:
• 31 days
• 31 marathons
• Over 800 miles

All to raise awareness for mental health and recovery.

This journey will kick off on Day 1 with a run from The Recovery Spot of West Georgia (Carrollton, GA) to Coweta FORCE (Newnan, GA), highlighting the power of connection across recovery communities. Throughout the month, runs will continue to local Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs), bringing visibility to the resources available right here in our area.

Along the way, there will be live videos, updates, and opportunities for YOU to get involved. You don’t have to run a marathon—just choose your movement. Walk, stretch, dance, breathe… whatever supports your mental health.

This movement is about more than miles. It’s about breaking stigma, starting conversations, and reminding people they are not alone.

Because recovery is possible.
Because mental health matters.
And because—we do hard things.

Follow along, share, and join the movement this May.

Grateful to be part of this important community conversation on mental health alongside the Carl Vinson Institute. Meaningful relationships were built, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead and the impact we can continue to make together.

We recently facilitated a sequential intercept mapping workshop in Carroll County with a great group of partners convened by Judge John Simpson of the Carroll County Superior Court.

We were pleased to work with people from the courts, law enforcement, mental health providers, healthcare, University of West Georgia, Carrollton, GA , Carroll County, GA, Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Pathways Community Service Board, Georgia Department of Community Supervision, and others.

📅 Tuesday, March 17
⏰ 7:00 – 8:30 PM
📍 Dr. Tracy P. Stallings Community Center

✨ You’re Invited! ✨

Tomorrow from 10:00 AM – 11:45 AM, the RESPECT Institute of Georgia will host its latest graduation where participants share their powerful lived-experience stories of recovery, resilience, and hope.

Each story is 10 minutes or less, but the impact lasts much longer. These are real stories from people who have walked through mental health and substance use challenges and are now using their voices to help break stigma and inspire others.

One of the graduates you’ll hear from is our very own Diversion Program Director, Hannah Grant, who will be sharing part of her recovery journey as well.

💙 If you need a little hope, encouragement, or inspiration, this is a beautiful place to find it.

📅 Friday
⏰ 10:00 AM – 11:45 AM

Today we celebrate the incredible women who serve our community through The Recovery Spot of West Georgia and Carroll County Mental Health Advocates.

These women show up every day with compassion, strength, and a heart for helping others find hope in recovery and mental wellness. Through lived experience, peer support, and advocacy, they remind people that healing is possible and that no one has to walk the journey alone.

We are grateful for the women who lead with empathy, stand in the gap for others, and turn their own experiences into purpose.

Happy International Women’s Day to the women changing lives in our community every single day. 💜
