Legacy Behavioral Health

Legacy Behavioral Health Our mission is to empower hope and wellness through exceptional, personalized care.

Legacy Behavioral Health is a public nonprofit organization operated by the South Georgia Community Service Board. Community Service Boards are legal entities created by House Bill 100 in July, 1994, to govern Public Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services. These services were previously provided by the Department of Human Resources, Division of Mental Health. Public funding for the Community Service Boards is provided by the state through a system of regional funding and planning authorities. These funding authorities are called Regional Boards and the public funding for Legacy Behavioral Health is through a contractual relationship with the Region 4 Regional Board. Legacy is licensed by the State of Georgia and complies with the state standards.

Legacy Behavioral Health was proud to bring the WAVE Mobile Clinic out to support OASIS Recovery at their 8-Year Block Party Celebration! 🎉 It was an amazing day of connection, community, and hope as we shared mental health and substance use resources, provided services, and met so many wonderful individuals and families. Events like this remind us how important it is to meet people where they are and make care accessible to everyone.

Legacy Behavioral Health was proud to celebrate National Read Across America Day by spending time with the amazing students at Lanier County Elementary School — especially Mrs. Fender’s wonderful Kindergarten class! 📚✨ Thank you for welcoming us to read and share in the joy of literacy.
Through our APEX Program, Legacy partners directly with schools to support students’ behavioral health, social-emotional growth, and overall well-being. Being involved in our school communities is so important because strong partnerships help children thrive both in and out of the classroom. We are grateful for the opportunity to invest in our youngest learners and strengthen the communities we serve. 💙

🌟 ACT Success Story 🌟
After transitioning to ACT following a 7-year state hospital stay, Zhibin has made incredible strides toward independence and stability. During his time with ACT, Zhibin has maintained housing, avoided crisis admissions and police involvement, and built a full, meaningful life in the community.

Zhibin stays actively engaged by volunteering with Second Harvest, attending job fairs and resume workshops at Goodwill, earning his forklift certification, and securing employment. He also participates at the VLPRA Senior Community Center, successfully manages his own medications, and is currently working with SSA to independently manage his finances.

Not stopping there, Zhibin is now pursuing his CompTIA certification in Cybersecurity. He truly loves to stay busy, and his journey reflects the power of support, determination, and opportunity.
We are so proud of Zhibin and honored to be part of his continued success! 💙
