P.A.V.E. the Way to Mental Wellness
Four pillars — Prevention, Awareness, Veterans, and Education — guide everything we do across Georgia.
Prevention
Promoting early intervention, suicide prevention, and proactive mental-health support before individuals and families reach a crisis.
Awareness
Reducing stigma and increasing public understanding through education, outreach, advocacy, and open conversations about mental health.
Veterans
Connecting veterans, service members, and their families with accessible behavioral-health resources, support, and community-based services.
Education
Providing individuals, families, and communities with reliable mental-health education, practical tools, and information that encourages early help-seeking and long-term wellness.
Helping Families After Suicide Loss
Thousands of families face the unexpected cost of saying goodbye after losing a loved one to suicide. The CareStop Hope After Loss Fund helps eligible families with funeral and memorial expenses during one of life’s most difficult moments.
Georgia families may face nearly $14 million in suicide-related funeral expenses in a single year. This figure is an estimate.
Georgia communities need stronger mental health support — now.
Many communities across our state experience limited access to behavioral health education, psychiatric resources, suicide prevention training, and culturally responsive mental health support. We are building a foundation that changes that.
- Rural and underserved communities face provider shortages and long wait times.
- Veterans and families need culturally competent support close to home.
- Youth, educators, and faith communities need practical prevention training.
- Every Georgian deserves a clear path to help before a crisis.
