Join the NW GA SOC Advisory Council
The Advisory Council is the group overseeing the regional system of care collaboration in the 15 counties of Northwest Georgia (Paulding, Haralson, Polk, Bartow, Gordon, Floyd, Whitfield, Murray, Chattooga, Walker, Dade, Catoosa, Fannin, Gilmer and Pickens Counties). This system of care collaboration includes multiple components and subsystems serving youth with mental health needs across multiple agencies such as WIN Georgia, CBAY, and other provider networks (i.e. LIPT, RIAT, etc).
The Advisory Council will serve as an advisory body to recipients of grants that support the Council’s mission and are consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding. The Council may provide consultation and technical assistance to fiscal agents and service providers. The Council will not serve as a fiscal agent, but will maintain a collaborative partnership with grantors, fiscal agents and respective service providers.
