Families First Behavioral Health Team Rises to Meet the Needs of Families
“I just needed someone to talk to. My counselor has basically saved my life. She is like my guardian angel.”

Resilience
In order to build resilience for families, you have to measure it.
We serve individuals holistically and family-centered because trauma is expansive. The difference between surviving and thriving is dependent on our ability to build resiliency. Families First utilizes evidence-based tools to help people set goals for thriving, celebrate their progress in their journey of recovery and set emotional safeguards for the long term.

Morehouse School of Medicine Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic
Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) has partnered with the non-profit organization Families First to open a new location for its weekly child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) clinic. Beginning today, MSM behavioral health clinicians will be available to see patients on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 80 Joseph E. Lowery Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30314.
A Child & Adolescent Psychiatry attending physician, CAP fellow, and psychiatry residents will evaluate and treat mental health conditions in youth up to age 21. The new partnership will provide a great opportunity for cross referral, with MHC clinicians initiating referrals to Families First for youth mental health services and Families First referring patients to MHC for primary and specialty care. Patients and their families may make appointments by contacting Families First at 404-853-2800 or emailing counseling@familiesfirst.org.
