Cobb Collaborative continues to bring the community together to improve outcomes for children as we facilitate comprehensive activities for networking and capacity building in our three focus initiative areas of mental health , literacy and civic engagement .
Stress, anxiety, and depression are on the rise and impact people from all walks of life.
The ability to read is proven to directly influence the opportunities and successes of children’s lives.
Equipping all residents to get involved with local institutions builds trust and connection.
Organizations in Cobb have a long history of collaborating, sharing information and creating new programs and mechanisms to improve the quality of life for residents of our county.
The first formal collaboration was accomplished through the Cobb Community Council (CCC) starting in the 1970's. The CCC met monthly to share information about programs and coordinate resources.
