Healthy communication isn’t about saying the “right” thing, it’s about feeling heard, understood, and respected.
When we build those skills, we create stronger relationships, safer environments, and deeper connection for ourselves and the people around us.
We support families, caregivers, and educators in building communication that actually connects. 💜

Long post warning...
Intimate partner homicide is rarely random.
It is rarely “out of nowhere.”
According to the Georgia Commission on Family Violence and findings from the Georgia Domestic Violence Fatality Review Project, there are identifiable, repeating patterns before many deaths occur.
Common patterns include:
• Prior threats to kill
• Strangulation history
• Escalating controlling behaviors
• Access to fi****ms
• Obsessive jealousy
• Recent separation
Lethality is a process — not a moment.
If we want to reduce fatalities in Georgia, we must stop responding only to incidents and start responding to patterns.
Choosing Peace means learning to see the pattern early — and acting before it escalates.

Awareness creates change.
You can’t shift what you don’t notice.

It’s okay to say no.
No to what feels overwhelming.
No to what stretches you too thin.
No to what doesn’t support your well-being.
Setting boundaries isn’t selfish; it’s how we take care of ourselves so we can show up fully where it matters most.

When caregivers, educators, and professionals work together, children feel more secure, supported, and understood.
Collaboration creates consistency.
Consistency builds trust.
And trust helps children grow with confidence.
When we work together, children don’t just get support, they thrive.

We support child care providers, families, and early learning staff across Georgia, because when caregivers feel supported, kids flourish.
Let’s build strong foundations together.

Sometimes, we all need a little extra support.
You might notice feeling more overwhelmed than usual, having trouble sleeping, feeling disconnected, or finding it harder to cope with everyday stress.
These moments don’t mean something is wrong, they may simply be a sign that you could use additional care and support.
You don’t have to navigate it alone.

When children feel safe and supported, they thrive, emotionally, socially, and academically.
That sense of safety is built through connection, consistency, and care.
When children know they are seen, heard, and supported, they gain the confidence to explore, learn, and grow.

Lasting change doesn’t happen overnight.
It begins with one small, intentional choice.
A different response.
A moment of pause.
A step in a new direction.
Over time, those small choices build into something meaningful.
You don’t have to do everything today, just one small step.

Our journey began when the three of us, descendants of enslaved people (grandmother, mother, father) who experienced trauma in our own way, decided we wanted to create a brave, supportive, trauma-informed space to allow our customers (team members and clients alike) to learn, heal, and grow. Thus, The Southern Center for Choice Theory, LLC was born.
After much deliberation, we decided on the name because we knew that we could teach anyone choice theory who was willing to listen. We also wanted our reach to be far - throughout the southern part of the US and beyond.
When asked about our “niche” we decided that all people having experienced some form of trauma and they are interested in the healing part vs the symptom part of their traumas were a perfect match for us. We provide primary, secondary and tertiary prevention services to individuals across the lifespan.
We believe that people are and should be the experts in their lives and we are guides assisting them in finding the true north. For now, we are a part-time agency with a full-time mission - ending the violence that so negatively impacts all our relationships. This includes interpersonal violence & sexual violence, community violence, workplace violence, violence related to racism or any other ism and all of the resulting traumas.
We want to help people learn to take back the control in their lives. We teach CT because it is a theory that teaches the idea of personal freedom. Personal freedom over your mental as well as physical health. We see CT as the perfect framework upon with to build the life you say you want. Is is a perfect lens through which to observe the individual. Our “story catching change agent” Ms. Cissé uses CT to explain the how and why of behavior and Reality Therapy to help clients find the change they desire. We are always making choices, what are the choices we make that impact our mental health?
The early days...
Having being given the SO and FVIP parts of an existing business made ownership a little easier. However, it still included a significant learning curve that needed to be overcome. All of the legal stuff, the money stuff, the people stuff combined almost made it too much for us. It was wonderful to not have to do all of the work alone. We had each other and Ms. Zenobia, Richard, Carmen, Solomon, Linda, Nomsa, and a few others who helped hold things together.
Later...
Our therapist was added to some insurance panels and we got a contract with DFCS and things started to pick up...we are still growing.
These days...
We are remaining focused on our goals and adapting to new challenges and opportunities. We work with the whole family and the person within the environment. This meaning we know that we can’t help a person to heal their mental health without helping to ensure that their physical needs are also addressed. We work collaboratively with many other agencies within and around our community.
