Mental Health Clinics coming to seven Bibb County neighborhoods

Macon Mental Health Matters is the name of a new initiative focused on improving mental health across seven neighborhoods in Macon-Bibb County. After a 16-year-old was shot in killed in Macon on Wednesday, 13MWAZ learned this is one-way Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller is dealing with crime. For more than three decades, Charlie West has called Pleasant Hill home. Though things are quiet, West says the crime he sees in Macon-Bacon County is sometimes alarming. The new initiative is aimed at taking a fresh approach in ending crime. Cisse, with the Southern Center for Choice Theory, is heading up the program. The seven locations will be: Booker T. Washington Community Center, Hispanic Community Center, Cherokee Heights/Bartlett Crossing, Rosa Jackson Center, Gilead on Rock Creek, Brookdale Warming Center and one near Bruce Elementary.
