Clayton County Brain Health Coalition
Seva Health Center for Wellbeing, in partnership with the Clayton County for the Future, formed the Clayton County Brain Health Coalition in spring 2023. By collecting data and convening local partners like patients, providers and stakeholders, the coalition explores barriers to brain health services and opportunities and partnerships for solutions. We envision a Clayton County where quality brain health services and resources are well-known and accessible to all community members, giving them the opportunity for a high quality of life. The group’s three committees are focused on:
- Access to resources: Help identify gaps in existing resource lists and support updates to the Clayton County Resource Guide's brain health resource section to serve as a comprehensive brain health resource that can be distributed to community members and partners.
- Education: Host or encourage partners to host three evidence-based education sessions on a variety of health topics to improve quality of life and support brain health.
- Awareness: Create a campaign to raise awareness of brain health resources and promote thoughtful and open discussion around brain health throughout the county.
The Clayton County Brain Health Coalition partnered with the Family Resource Center to update the counseling, behavioral health, and brain health section in the Clayton County Resource Guide to include additional resources around counseling, fitness, nutrition, and more. The Coalition also created a video to highlight ways individuals can positively impact their own brain health in Clayton County https://youtu.be/DX-Hl_Z1Xd8 Special thanks to Aureon (with support from NEIT) and the Dr. John Rathe Endowment for support of the video production and distribution.
