About us
Since 1872, GBCH&FM has served children and families throughout Georgia to give them a place to call home. Our residents often come to us from places of neglect, abandonment, and even abuse, but we get to care for them and show them they are loved. Our youth and families receive personalized care that is unique to their needs so we can work towards long-term resolutions with them. These plans, paired with daily activities, enrichment programs, and additional services, help ensure each client is on a path for success. We are also certified in using the Sanctuary Model of Care to take a trauma-informed approach with our kids and families to manage loss, promote healing, and create a hopeful future. As a member of our team, you can make a life-changing difference for so many youth and families. We are always looking for passionate individuals who want to directly serve our residents, whether as a Direct Care Staff member, Teacher, Nurse, Therapist, or in any other capacity that is needed. Come join this rewarding experience with us! You can also learn more at www.GeorgiaChildren.org.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime, and being proactive in this fight is crucial. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the chance of successful treatment. Unfortunately, most of us know someone or have been directly impacted by breast cancer. Some of our incredible staff members have had to face this disease and we pray continuously for them and their families. Join us in prayer for funds to help support life-saving research and life-changing support.

We appreciate our employees and strive to serve them as best as we can! One way we do this is through our Leave Accrual, where team members earn one Vacation day per month (plus one day for each year of employment) and one Sick day per month. This helps ensure staff have the time they need to rest and recharge, explore, or do whatever else they need to care for themselves! Head on over to https://lnkd.in/eYDwaHT to see what positions we have available! #GBCHFMemployee #nowhiring

Today is Child Health Day! We work with children and families day in and day out and the health of children both physically and mentally is vital! This day recognizes the care and guidance children need to grow strong and healthy. Each child deserves to be the healthiest he or she can be. From the food they eat to the words they hear, children require support and opportunities to grow. Whether it’s their environment, the food they eat or how much TV they watch, the day is an excellent opportunity to support children in your life. #ChildHealthDay
