Our trained life coaches give one-on-one support to teens who have experienced foster care or who have a child in foster care.

About
CCS is a non-profit organization that improves the quality of life for children, teens, and adults with developmental disabilities and mental health needs, and their families, by providing direct services and community-based support throughout the state of Georgia.
Georgia communities where people with developmental disabilities and mental health needs can say, “I am the best person I can be.”
We believe that all children, adults, and families are valued members of society.
In 1982, Sally Buchanan founded Creative Community Services with the goal of helping adults with developmental disabilities live in the most independent environment as possible and give them what everyone deserves-the support of a loving family.
In 1988, Creative Community Services opened its doors to a new type of client -Georgia’s most vulnerable children. Up to this point, kids throughout the state of Georgia with severe mental health concerns had three options: be transferred to another state, psychiatric care facility, or homelessness, because no community-based program existed in Georgia that understood their needs. Creative Community Services became the first agency in Georgia to provide Therapeutic Foster Care.
Creative Community Services partnered with MAAC to provide life coaching to pregnant and parenting foster youth.
