Greater Atlanta Family Counseling prioritizes service as a key value of our organization.

We maintain a limited number of sliding scale or pro-bono appointments for community members who would otherwise not be able to pursue mental health treatment. 

Priority for the awards are held for single mothers with limited financial resources, or children whose families struggle to afford co-pays.
