Katie recently had the opportunity to attend ZERO TO THREE’s 20th Annual Cross Sites Meeting in Boston! 💙 Katie attended with Troup THRIVe, joining a national gathering of leaders, practitioners, and community partners committed to strengthening families and improving outcomes for infants and toddlers. Attendees shared ideas, built connections, and explored ways to strengthen collaboration across courts, child welfare, early childhood systems, and communities. We’re grateful for opportunities like this to learn from others across the country and bring new ideas and connections back home to support children and families in our community. #cowetarecovers #cowetaforce #GARecovers #trouprecovers #fortroup

Today we get to celebrate someone who means so much to the Coweta FORCE family. 💜 Amanda has been walking the road of recovery since 2016, and today we celebrate another year of her choosing recovery, choosing growth, and continuing to show up with strength, compassion, and purpose. As our Burch House Manager, Amanda pours so much of herself into the women around her. She leads with both heart and experience, offering encouragement, accountability, understanding, and, maybe most importantly, hope. She is a reminder that recovery is about so much more than where you’ve been. It’s about who you continue choosing to become. Amanda, we hope you know how deeply valued you are, not just for everything you do, but simply for who you are. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are incredibly grateful that your recovery journey is part of ours. Please help us celebrate Amanda and 10 YEARS OF RECOVERY! 🎉💜 Here’s to every day, every choice, every bit of growth, and every life touched along the way. We love you, Amanda! #cowetarecovers #cowetaforce #GARecovers #trouprecovers #fortroup

A bus is coming to Newnan. September is National Recovery Month, and the Georgia Recovers bus tour is making stops all over the state. Newnan City Hall is one of them. September 9. 9:30 in the morning. It runs about an hour. A few people are speaking, our mayor is reading a recovery proclamation, and anybody who wants to can put their name on the bus. You don't have to be in recovery to come. You just have to be willing to stand up for somebody in this town who is. #RecoveryMonth #NewnanGA #CowetaCounty #GeorgiaRecovery

LaGrange, Hank has something to tell you. F.O.R. Troup has been at 209 Church Street serving Troup County for a while now. Meetings every week. A celebration last month that packed the Rail District Market. That was the start. Hank says 2027 is going to be bigger, and he’s not ready to say how yet. If you’re in Troup County and recovery matters to you, keep watching this page. #CowetaFORCE #FORTroup #CowetaRecovers #GARecovers #RecoveryIsPossible #RecoveryCommunity #peersupport #communitiesrecover #RecoveryisReal

🎉💜 We are so thankful for Clothes Less Traveled! 💜🎉 Their generous support will help women in early recovery take important steps toward independence and a stronger future. We are incredibly grateful to Clothes Less Traveled for investing in our community and believing in the power of recovery and new beginnings! 💜 #CowetaFORCE #ClothesLessTraveled #RecoveryIsPossible #WomenInRecovery #CommunitySupport #NewBeginnings

A church group can sponsor a room. So can a Sunday school class, a civic club, a business, or a few families who decide to go in together. That's how the rest of this building got finished. Not one big check. A lot of people deciding this mattered to them. Coweta FORCE has outgrown the space it's in. The back section of the building is next, and every room in it can be sponsored by somebody in this county. If your group has been looking for something local to put your name on, this is it. Details on Fund the FORCE are in the comments. #NewnanGA #CowetaCounty #FundTheFORCE #RecoveryMonth

his is the team you'll meet when you walk in. We spent an afternoon at Lock City Adventures - Newnan trying to get out of a locked room together. We made it, with a little arguing over clues. The work we do is heavy some days. Days like this are how we stay a team, and a team is what people need on the other side of the front desk. Not a waiting room. People who know each other, trust each other, and show up. Thank you to Lock City for a good day. Newnan or LaGrange, the door's open Monday through Friday. Come meet us. #CowetaFORCE #FORTroup #CowetaRecovers #GARecovers #RecoveryIsPossible #RecoveryCommunity #peersupport #communitiesrecover #RecoveryisReal

Seven years. Today we're celebrating our Assistant Director, JJ Durrough, on seven years in long-term recovery. JJ rebuilt her own life. Then she turned around and gave that life to helping other people find theirs. Today she leads, she advocates, and she's one of the steadiest people in this building for anyone who walks in needing hope. Her story says something simple. No matter how far life takes you, recovery can open a door to something new. Join us in congratulating JJ. Seven years, and a whole life built in them. We're grateful she's part of the Coweta FORCE family. Here's to seven, and many more. 💜 #CowetaFORCE #FORTroup #CowetaRecovers #GARecovers #RecoveryIsPossible #RecoveryCommunity #peersupport #communitiesrecover #RecoveryisReal #7YearsInRecovery #WeDoRecover #RecoveryWorks

A wedding. Baby showers. Board meetings. A kid's first birthday. All of it happened at Coweta FORCE on Salbide Avenue. Our building isn't just for recovery meetings. When a local group or a new nonprofit needs a room, we'd rather share it than let it sit empty. If you need a place to meet, send us a message and ask. [If JJ confirms: There's no charge.] Newnan, this space is yours too. #NewnanGA #CowetaFORCE #CommunityPartner #Nonprofit

Hank Arnold just got recognized by the State of Georgia for the work you see him do every day. On Monday, the Georgia Department of Community Supervision named Hank its 2026 Stakeholder Award winner in the private category. The award went out at the DCS Annual Awards Ceremony at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth. DCS is the agency that works with people on probation and parole. This award goes to a community partner who shows up for those people, helps keep the community safer, and makes life better for everyone in it. That’s Hank. He knows what it’s like to want a different life and not know how to build one. He built Coweta FORCE so nobody in Coweta County has to figure that out alone, including people coming home from supervision. Congratulations, Hank. We’re proud of you, and we’re grateful for how you lead. #CowetaFORCE #FORTroup #CowetaRecovers #GARecovers #RecoveryIsPossible #RecoveryCommunity #peersupport #communitiesrecover #RecoveryisReal #GeorgiaDCS #SecondChances

Hank said it better than we could. Every sponsor of the 8th Annual Ride For Recovery put their name and their money behind people in Coweta County who are working to rebuild their lives. Not one of them had to. Thank you to Precision Tune Auto Care Newnan GA #10735 and Piedmont Newnan , our Co-Presenting Sponsors, and to every Silver, Community, and Individual sponsor who said yes. We'll keep thanking you by name this week. You earned it. #CowetaFORCE #FORTroup #CowetaRecovers #GARecovers #RecoveryIsPossible #RecoveryCommunity #peersupport #communitiesrecover #RecoveryisReal

Eight years ago Wayne Stewart put together a motorcycle ride as a community service project. It was supposed to happen once. It's still happening, and Wayne and Precision Tune Auto Care are still part of it. Sunday, September 27. Kickstands up at 1:00 from Change Church in Grantville. About an hour of county roads, ending at our building at 36 Salbide Avenue in Newnan. Free food, raffles, prizes, and things for the kids to do. $20 to ride. $5 for a passenger. Shirts are pre-order only and the deadline is September 17. Registration link is in the comments. #RideForRecovery #NewnanGA #CowetaCounty #GrantvilleGA

September is National Recovery Month. It's a month set aside to say out loud what most people don't say: that recovery happens, that it happens to regular people, and that a lot of them are your neighbors. Every person on our staff in Newnan and LaGrange is in recovery. That's not a coincidence, it's how this works. The person you'd sit down with already knows the road. We'll have more to say this month. For now, September is here, and it belongs to everybody still doing the work. #RecoveryMonth #NewnanGA #CowetaCounty #LaGrangeGA #TroupCounty

Investing in recovery means investing in the people who help make recovery possible. 🧡 Coweta FORCE was honored to host the Recovery Residence Associate/Professional training in our community space! Over two days, recovery residence professionals came together to learn, grow, strengthen their skills, and dig deeper into the ethical practices that help create safe, supportive recovery environments. We’re especially proud that our own Amanda Quinn, Program Coordinator of The Burch House, participated in the training as she continues working toward her Recovery Residence Professional credential. We believe recovery housing is about so much more than providing a place to live. It’s about creating environments rooted in connection, accountability, dignity, ethical leadership, and opportunities for people to build sustainable lives in recovery. A huge thank you to Cody Davis, the Georgia Association of Recovery Residences, and everyone who joined us for two great days of learning and connection. We’re grateful to be part of strengthening recovery residences and the recovery community across Georgia. We recover together. 🧡 #CowetaFORCE #FORTroup #CowetaRecovers #TroupRecovers #GaRecovers

Today we’re celebrating Jen Ice and an incredible 5 YEARS of recovery! 💜🎉 Five years is something worth celebrating. Five years of choosing recovery, choosing growth, and continuing to move forward one day at a time. Jen, your journey is a reminder that recovery can bring about real change, new beginnings, and so much hope. The strength it takes to keep choosing this path matters, and the impact you have on the people around you matters too. We are so grateful to have you as part of the Coweta FORCE family and to be able to celebrate this milestone with you. We hope you take a moment to look back at how far you’ve come and feel proud of the life you’ve built along the way. Congratulations on 5 YEARS, Jen! 💜 Here’s to everything you’ve overcome, everything you’ve learned, and all that’s still ahead. We’re so proud of you! #CowetaRecovers #CowetaFORCE #GARecovers #TroupRecovers #FORTRoup
