The Georgia Association of Community Service Boards, Inc. (GACSB) was established in 1994 for the following purposes:
· To lead in the development and operation of public disability services (mental health, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases [MHDDAD]) which are community-based and comprehensive in range; involve consumers and their families in their design and governance; and are provided in a cost-effective manner in the least restrictive setting;
· To advocate, initiate, and support actions designed to improve disability services in Georgia;
· For sharing and exchange of information and ideas related to service delivery;
· To develop resources and solutions to problems; and
· To speak singularly in matters mutually involving and concerning community service boards (CSBs) in the State of Georgia.
Our vision is to achieve healthy communities which assure the highest potential quality of life for consumers of mental health, developmental disabilities, and addictive diseases services.
Our mission is to promote the exchange of information; to represent the community service boards (CSBs) on legislative and administration matters; and to advocate for the highest quality of life for consumers of mental health, developmental disabilities, and addictive diseases services.
