Avita Community Partners

What Avita Community Partners does

Avita Community Partners is a publicly mandated, non-profit community services board established by the 1993 Georgia State Legislature (originally as Georgia Mountains Community Services, later rebranded) to serve individuals and families experiencing the disabling effects of mental illness, developmental disabilities, and addictive diseases. The organization is the legislatively designated behavioral health and IDD provider for a 13-county region in northeast Georgia (Banks, Dawson, Forsyth, Franklin, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, and White counties), operating a county-level office in each jurisdiction from its administrative headquarters in Flowery Branch.

Its service portfolio is anchored by five core programs — Mental Health Services, Addictive Disease Services, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Services, Youth Services, and the Behavioral Health Crisis Center — supplemented by specialized program modules including the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Program, Adolescent and Adult Clubhouse Programs, the Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (SA IOP), a Supported Employment Program, Family and Peer Support Programs, Suicide Prevention Services, and statewide Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services delivered by ASL-fluent counselors and case managers. Clinical delivery is supported by a 24/7 crisis hotline, a 30-bed crisis stabilization unit and a 15-bed 23-hour observation unit at the Gainesville Behavioral Health Crisis Center, and on-site pharmacy services, all operating under a Recovery Model and Episodes of Treatment framework.

The business model is managed-services revenue funded primarily by Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements, state behavioral health funding routed through the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), and county appropriations from the 13 served counties. Go-to-market is referral-driven — from physicians, hospitals, schools, the Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS), and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline — supplemented by direct walk-in crisis services, online referral forms, and community presence across the region. The organization holds CARF Three-Year Accreditation, is governed by a board with mandatory representation from each served county (with at least 50% of members required to be clients or family of clients), and competes with no in-region legislative peer for its core mandate.
