At The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority, we recognize that does not operate in isolation—it intersects with economic development, housing, education, infrastructure, and overall community well-being.

Through FDHA’s investment in a comprehensive workforce pipeline, including targeted scholarships, we are supporting meaningful pathways into critical healthcare careers.

See the Person. Support the Journey.

is part of everyday life. It shapes how we think, feel, connect with others, and move through the world.

This year’s national theme highlights the importance of:

🔹Noticing early signs of mental health concerns
🔹Strengthening the support around us
🔹Responding with care and compassion during challenging moments

Mental health touches every part of life — from housing and work to relationships and community. When mental health challenges arise, they often intersect with substance use, and whole person care that addresses both is essential to lasting recovery and well-being.

Supporting someone living with a serious mental illness starts with understanding. Learning about mental health conditions can help you respond with empathy and confidence.

The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority is proud to work alongside community partners to connect residents with vital health and mental health resources. When care is coordinated, everyone can get the support they need—at the right time.
