September is Recovery Month, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate the important work of @gc4recovery (GC4R) and the peer professionals supporting Georgia families on their recovery journeys.

💜 HMHBGA had the opportunity to support GC4R’s Maternal Peer Support (MPS) Academy I & II, held in May and July. Our Perinatal Workforce Initiatives Manager, Kelli Jackson, facilitated sessions on birth planning, postpartum planning, and maternal mental health, equipping maternal peer support professionals with knowledge and tools to better support pregnant and postpartum individuals throughout pregnancy, birth, recovery, and the transition into parenthood. This work matters because recovery doesn’t happen separately from pregnancy, birth, postpartum, parenting, mental health, or the many other experiences that shape a person’s life. GC4R continues to strengthen Georgia’s recovery community by investing in peer support and ensuring people with lived experience are equipped to walk alongside others with compassion, knowledge, and understanding. This #RecoveryMonth, we’re proud to highlight GC4R and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the development of maternal peer support professionals who are helping Georgia families feel supported, prepared, and empowered. 💜 #RecoveryMonth #GC4R #MaternalPeerSupport #PeerSupport
