The 1st Annual Community Mental Health Fair was held on Saturday, May 18th at the Central Square Complex Gym in downtown Douglas, GA. We are thrilled to have had over 30 exhibitors who provided a variety of excellent resources regarding mental health services to over 100 attendees! The City of Douglas provided everyone with free hotdogs, chips, and popcorn, and 22 lucky winners walked away with awesome door prizes!! We would like to send out a huge thank you to our sponsors: Premium Waters Inc., McCrae Coca-Cola, Broadcast South LLC., The City of Douglas, Compassionate Behavioral Health, Coastal Harbor Health System, Diversified Resources, Greenleaf, Magnolia House, Smile Doctors, and S.
