Empowering Holistic Well-being and Unity in Atlanta's Communities through Education, Healing, and Collaboration"
The enduring mission of Atlanta Healing Community is to connect individuals, organizations, and resources to meet the physiological, educational, and cultural needs of children in impoverished communities in Atlanta, across the state of Georgia, and throughout the Southeastern United States.
What Does It Feel Like To Be Invisible?
How would you feel if you were displaced, with no stable home and no one to protect, encourage, or support you?
Many of the children in foster care come from minority backgrounds and are victims of a series of foster care placements and experiences.

Without the extended support of a family, children in foster care face enormous challenges in building successful lives.
