It’s been a heavy time for our community. The violence we’re seeing in Macon reaches far beyond the headlines. It affects families, children, friends, and entire neighborhoods.

Our Executive Director, Christy Stepp Henry, recently had the opportunity to join The NAACP Truth radio show with the president, Mr. Willie Dumas, to talk about something that matters deeply right now, the importance of caring for our mental health after violence and other life-changing events.

At Family Counseling Center of Central Georgia, we provide free mental health counseling for victims of crime and individuals who don’t have the funds to pay for this critical resource because everyone deserves to have this support during the hardest moments of life.

Seeking help is not weakness. It is a courageous step toward healing, for individuals, for families, for schools, and for our entire community.

If you or someone you know may qualify for services, please call 478-745-2811 to learn how we can help.

No one should have to face these challenges alone. Together, we can continue working toward a healthier, stronger Macon.

Thank you Mr. Dumas for giving us the opportunity to talk about mental heath and our services!

We are incredibly thankful for MVP for investing in The Better U Project and in the well-being of our community.

Strengthening minds and families is foundational to building safer communities. When youth and caregivers receive coordinated mentoring and mental health support, we don’t just respond to crisis, we reduce future risk.

Thank you for providing FCC and TruelyU Foundation with the opportunity to do the steady, meaningful work of prevention.

MVP is proud to support the Family Counseling Center of Central Georgia with a 2026 community grant!
Through The Better U Project: Strengthening Minds, Families and Futures for Safer Communities, this initiative will strengthen youth and family well-being through coordinated mentoring and supportive services. By addressing mental, emotional and relational needs that impact long-term stability, and engaging both youth and caregivers, the program will reinforce positive behaviors and improve outcomes for families facing persistent challenges.

We are grateful to stand alongside MVP and so many committed partners. When violence impacts our community, the trauma doesn’t disappear. It settles into families, children, and neighborhoods.

At FCC, we see every day that healing is prevention. Early intervention, trauma-informed counseling, and supportive services help stabilize families and change long-term outcomes.

If you are looking for a way to be part of the solution, we invite you to reach out. This work may be quiet, but it matters deeply.

In response to the tragic violence in our community last weekend, MVP would like to offer something to those who might be feeling angry, frustrated or powerless. If you’re looking for a way to make our community better, make meaningful connections, offer much-needed support and, in the process, improve your own life, we have opportunities for you.
In the coming days and weeks, we’ll be offering information from our community partners about volunteer, and even some paid, opportunities to be part of the solution. It’s easy to criticize violence prevention efforts from the sidelines, but it accomplishes nothing, other than further dividing our community.
We challenge you to stand in the gap for a child who needs your support and wisdom, to offer your time to weary mental health professionals who need office and clerical support, (like those at the Family Counseling Center of Central Georgia ) or offer your skills, whether they be a super-low golf handicap (First Tee - Middle Georgia ), artistic expression or ability to read a story (Lead With Literacy , Girls Dig Deeper Initiative, 100 Black Men of Macon-Middle Georgia Men About Change, Inc. Next Level Community Development Center , Campus Clubs, Inc. ). You could open up a whole new world of possibility to a young person in our community. You may not make news headlines in the process because stories of young people who go on to lead quiet lives of progress don’t usually make the news. But, you will gain everything by knowing that you made a difference in someone’s life. The ripple effects of that are enormous. If you’re interested, stay tuned to our page for more information or reach out to our community grant recipients to see how you can help.
