Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services Program for
Children and Their Families
Georgia
Rockdale County—Peach State Wraparound Initiative
The Gwinnett, Rockdale, Newton Community Service Board (GRN), Georgia Parent
Support Network, and community-based agencies have formed a partnership to
create new opportunities for children and families. The initiative will be
implemented initially in Rockdale County, ultimately reaching into Gwinnett
County. A multi-layered vision guides the initiative: children and families
form the center of the system; and there is recognition that child and family
strength is the key to facilitating good outcomes; and that children thrive in
environments that allow them to be connected to their families and communities.
Specific goals are to: 1) enhance the infrastructure of the system by
strengthening interagency collaboration; 2) achieve full, meaningful
involvement of families in the system’s governance, service decisions and
provision, and evaluation; 3) develop an intensive, care-coordinated system; 4)
increase formal and informal supportive services for children and families; 5)
improve cultural competence; and 6) develop training and education modules for
families, staff, and administrators.
