How mental health care works in Georgia
If you're in crisis right now — or someone you love is — call or text 988, or call the Georgia Crisis & Access Line at 1-800-715-4225. Real people answer 24/7, they can talk you through tonight, and they can send a mobile crisis team instead of police in many situations.
For ongoing counseling, Georgia's community service boards offer therapy and psychiatry on a sliding scale — you don't need insurance. Be ready for a waitlist for regular appointments; crisis lines never have one. Some nonprofits and training clinics offer free or cheap counseling with shorter waits — ask 211 what's open near you.
What to expect when you call: a screening conversation (10–20 minutes) about what's going on, then an intake appointment. Saying "I'm in crisis" moves you faster. You can ask for a Spanish-speaking counselor.
Paws for Life USA is a nonprofit in Marietta that trains and places custom service dogs for free for children, adults, veterans, and first responders with disabilities. They train dogs for needs like mobility, seizures, autism, PTSD, hearing, and medical alerts, and many of the dogs are rescues from high-kill shelters. They also train therapy and facility dogs and give lifetime support to every dog-and-handler team.

This record could not be verified. The address (100 Rogers St NE, Atlanta 30317) and phone ((404) 590-5683) on file actually belong to Kirkwood UCC, a United Church of Christ congregation in Atlanta's Kirkwood neighborhood, not to Trinity United Methodist Church. The Trinity United Methodist Church that exists in Atlanta is a separate congregation located downtown at 265 Washington Street SW (30303) with a different phone number, so this entry appears to be a data-mismatch and the existing 'food pantry / mental health / crisis services' details could not be confirmed for any 'Trinity UMC' at this address.
