Invest in Gwinnett Coalition
Multiply Impact
Gwinnett County is home to over 1 million people and is one of the most culturally diverse counties in the nation. When it comes to quality of life, however, barriers accessing physical and mental and behavioral health services with some communities hinder man residents from achieving optimal well-being.
For thirty-five years, Gwinnett Coalition has brought leaders and citizens together to address complex human services issues. As challenges increase within our communities, we must evolve our approach and work collectively to create meaningful and lasting change.
Complex challenges
Guided by three interconnected area of work (health equity, mental and behavioral health, and nonprofit workforce development) we work collaboratively and as a cross-sector coalition to lead systems change.
Health Equity
Our evidence-informed health literacy workshops focus on mental, physical, and social aspects of health, connecting preventative care to well-being. In collaboration with Georgia Access, we connect uninsured and underinsured residents to affordable health coverage.
Mental and Behavioral Health
Resilient Gwinnett, our mental and behavioral health collaborative, brings awareness to the occurrence of trauma in young people ages 0-26. The partnerships, training, toolkits, and data-informed community strategies helps support individuals and families in Gwinnett County. The collaborative works to prevent adverse childhood experiences, promote positive childhood experiences, and encourage others to practice trauma-informed care.

Nonprofit Workforce Development
Nonprofit workforce development is at the heart of improving community health and well-being. Strong nonprofits lead to better services and support for those in need, directly impacting the quality of life in our communities. Our initiative, Gwinnett Nonprofit Coalition, equips nonprofit leaders with skills and knowledge to help strengthen their organizations while fostering collaboration across the nonprofit workforce.
