WHY SUPPORT DEVEREUX? Devereux Georgia treats the highest level, at-risk youth in Georgia from the ages of 10-21 who are suffering from mental illness and behavior disorders often due to abuse, neglect and commercial sexual exploitation. In 1973, Governor Jimmy Carter identified a need for a residential facility for at-risk youth in Georgia. Through this identified need Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health was brought to Georgia to serve these children, provide a safe place to live, address childhood trauma and allow for healing. Since that time, Devereux GA has served thousands of youth, providing hope and healing for the youth and their families..
Devereux GA serves 400 of the most at-risk youth from Georgia and the Southeast each year. Devereux accepts children that most other programs of its kind will not accept for treatment. It is not unusual for a child to have had 20+ treatment placements before coming to us. The children who are referred to Devereux GA have often exhausted all other resources for care due to mental illness and behavior disorders that result in self-injurious behaviors, aggression towards others, criminal activity, drug use and addiction, and promiscuous behaviors, among many others. At Devereux GA, we believe that every child deserves a chance to heal and thrive from the effects of childhood trauma. A child's past does not define their future. We serve children and youth from every race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, language and physical ability.
When you support Devereux - you are helping to change the life trajectory for the children and youth served.
