💙 We’re expanding our therapy services! 💙

We’re proud to announce that our Clinical Director & Therapist, Damaris Natola, recently completed the second and final EMDR training cohort on August 8th! 🎉

Damaris was one of only 18 professionals selected from across Georgia by Children's Advocacy Centers of Georgia- CACGA for this specialized training opportunity! With her completion of the training, EMDR is now one of three types of therapy offered at The GreenHouse, giving our clients more options for trauma focused care.

Thanks to the support of our community partners and funders, including United Way of Northwest Georgia, and The Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council therapy services at The GreenHouse are available at NO COST to our clients. ❤️

And this is just the beginning! We’re excited to share more about another new therapy modality now available at The GreenHouse in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! 👀

Join us in congratulating Damaris on this accomplishment! 👏

You know it’s campaign time when we get to hang out with our friends at Dalton Utilities for their annual Luau! 🌺🌴

Food trucks, trike tryouts, and really… who wouldn’t want to donate to United Way for the chance to pie their coworker in the face?! 😂 🥧

We had the best time with the Dalton Utilities team! Thank you for all the summer fun and even more importantly, for continuing to show up for our community year after year! ❤️

United is the Way!

Real support. Real families. Real impact.

Juan’s story is a powerful reminder that caregiving can impact anyone at any time and that support systems matter. Through RossWoods, supported by United Way of Northwest Georgia, his family found hope, stability, and peace of mind during a difficult season.

Because of community support, families like Juan and Jesus’ don’t have to face challenges alone.

This is why United is the Way. 🎥

Come along with us to today’s Lunch and Learn❤️📚

Today’s Women’s Leadership Council Lunch & Learn with Rachel Smalley was truly inspiring! 💙

Each year, our WLC Lunch & Learn brings women together to connect, learn, and be inspired. And today, more than 70 women gathered to hear Rachel share the journey behind writing her first children’s book, Tufted, and the history, relationships, and support woven throughout its creation.

At United Way, we believe in the power of literacy to open doors, inspire curiosity, and create opportunities for our young people!

Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your story with us, First Presbyterian Church Dalton for hosting, and Smith House Restaurant for our delicious lunches!

And don’t miss the Tufted Launch Party hosted by Believe Greater Dalton on August 18! This special celebration will bring the story of Catherine Evans Whitener to life as Tufted prepares to reach local classrooms. 👀
