Introducing Healthy Life 2028.

A strategic roadmap for the next chapter of impact across Georgia. At GCAPP, we are committed to ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to lead a healthy and hopeful life. That commitment is driving our next chapter. Healthy Life 2028 is our strategic roadmap for the future of adolescent health across Georgia—grounded in youth voice, strengthened partnerships, and data-informed action. This plan outlines clear priorities that expand our regional reach and enhance the systems that support adolescent health and well-being. Together with our communities, staff, and youth leaders and board, we are building a future where young people are empowered, heard, and positioned to thrive. The Need The challenges facing Georgia’s youth are real: • Georgia’s teen birth rate is above the national average, at 16.5 births per 1,000 youth • Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth in Georgia • Adolescents and young adults account for 55% of all reported STI cases in the state These realities call for bold, coordinated action. Our Strategic Impact Goal By the end of 2028, GCAPP will establish a fully operational six-region structure—Metro Atlanta, South, Southeast, West Central, East Central, and North—to implement initiatives tailored to each community’s needs. Through this approach, we will: Impact 260,000 youth Reach 130,000 parents Engage 50,000 youth-serving professionals Build 60 new strategic partnerships All working together to improve health outcomes for adolescents across Georgia. This work takes all of us. Parents. Educators. Youth-serving professionals. Donors. Communities. Together, we can create a future where every young person is supported, empowered, and equipped to thrive. Learn More About Healthy Life 2028 at www.GCAPP.org/HealthyLife2028 #GCAPPHEALTHYLIFE2028
