Legacy Behavioral Health

Our mission is to empower hope and wellness through exceptional, personalized care.

Legacy Behavioral Health is a public nonprofit organization operated by the South Georgia Community Service Board. Community Service Boards are legal entities created by House Bill 100 in July, 1994, to govern Public Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services. These services were previously provided by the Department of Human Resources, Division of Mental Health. Public funding for the Community Service Boards is provided by the state through a system of regional funding and planning authorities. These funding authorities are called Regional Boards and the public funding for Legacy Behavioral Health is through a contractual relationship with the Region 4 Regional Board. Legacy is licensed by the State of Georgia and complies with the state standards.

🌟 ACT Success Story 🌟
After transitioning to ACT following a 7-year state hospital stay, Zhibin has made incredible strides toward independence and stability. During his time with ACT, Zhibin has maintained housing, avoided crisis admissions and police involvement, and built a full, meaningful life in the community.

Zhibin stays actively engaged by volunteering with Second Harvest, attending job fairs and resume workshops at Goodwill, earning his forklift certification, and securing employment. He also participates at the VLPRA Senior Community Center, successfully manages his own medications, and is currently working with SSA to independently manage his finances.

Not stopping there, Zhibin is now pursuing his CompTIA certification in Cybersecurity. He truly loves to stay busy, and his journey reflects the power of support, determination, and opportunity.
We are so proud of Zhibin and honored to be part of his continued success! 💙
