“Four winds, formerly known as loganville community ministry village, has been operational for 12 years. During those 12 years our organization has served walton county, georgia and surrounding counties by providing professional mental health therapy, substance abuse recovery support, poverty alleviation services, and family supervision services. Our target populations have always been the most vulnerable among us those at or near the poverty level, those at risk of abuse and neglect, and those who have suffered abuse and neglect. In november of 2017 the loganville community ministry village created a new initiative in line with our mission and our history. The four winds initiative is a program that provides safe and stable housing, career opportunities and development, life skills, professional mental health services, substance abuse recovery support, and mentoring to homeless youth ages 18-25, with specific focus on those aged-out of foster care. Our goal is to offer this very vulnerable population services that will lead them from out of their vulnerability and to a place where they are self-sufficient and able to successfully live on their own and contribute to society. Our mission statement is breathing life into those forgotten by our community. Whether it is through the onsite licensed professional counselors on site at our organization or four winds initiative, we seek to provide services to the vulnerable and hurting members of our community. Organization experience and success: four winds exists to serve walton county by providing rescue and restorative services to struggling families and youth in the community. With 12 years experience in providing professional services in behavioral health, wellness, recovery and compassion through professional counseling, foster care support, family restoration services, and poverty alleviation services. In the last two years, our organization has worked to develop a housing and career development program for youth that are homeless and/or aging out of the foster care system. Our organization, at large, has also provided 528 adult therapy sessions in the past 12 months, along with 40 weekly substance abuse group meetings and 1500 child therapy sessions. For youth housing and vocational readiness program, we have graduated 4 participants into self-sufficiency in our pilot year. Because of our experience with trauma, mental health and life skills services, substance abuse recovery support, and poverty alleviation services, we are equipped to make this new initiative another successful service program. Our staff boasts over 20 years experience in homelessness and mental health services. Michael giddens, the executive director, has 15 years of experience in managing both for profit and non-profit business where he has been responsible for budgetary oversight, daily administration, and corporate accountability. Community partners: our community partners include connections homes, shepherds staff, fish, and many others including local churches and other partner organizations as needs arise. The services include providing mentoring, substance abuse and meeting groups, and additional social support. While our community partners are integral in providing certain elements of comprehensive services, none provide safe housing, comprehensive vocational readiness and career opportunities, holistic services or have a target population of 18-24 year old homeless youth.
