In honor of Black History Month, our CEO, Charles Releford, is highlighting the importance of the Our Legacy Museum in Griffin, GA. The museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the inspiring historical and cultural experiences of Griffin-Spalding’s African American community, placing their stories within both a regional and national context.

Dr. Charles Releford Jr. talks about the important need for Our Legacy Museum.

At Odyssey, we recognize that Black history is also a story of survival, advocacy, faith, family, and the ongoing pursuit of wellness. Despite generations of systemic barriers, the Black community has continued to lead with courage, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to care for one another.

This month—and every month—we remain committed to:
✨ Providing culturally responsive mental health care
✨ Creating safe spaces for healing and restoration
✨ Uplifting Black voices, experiences, and stories
✨ Supporting individuals, families, and communities in their journey toward wholeness

Healing is part of Black history. Community is part of Black history. Strength is part of Black history.
We are honored to walk alongside our community—yesterday, today, and tomorrow. 🖤

Welcoming 2026 with hope, growth and compassion. May this new year bring moments of clarity, healing, and balance. We're honored to continue supporting you.

🖤❤️💚 Happy Kwanzaa! 🖤❤️💚

As we celebrate Kwanzaa, we honor history, culture, and collective strength through the Seven Principles:

✨ Umoja (Unity) – To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race

✨ Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) – To define ourselves, name ourselves, and speak for ourselves

✨ Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility) – To build and maintain our community together

✨ Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) – To support and uplift Black-owned businesses and shared prosperity

✨ Nia (Purpose) – To build and develop our community with intention and meaning

✨ Kuumba (Creativity) – To leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it

✨ Imani (Faith) – To believe in ourselves, our people, and the righteousness of our struggle

May this season bring reflection, connection, and renewed purpose.
