Many
people
who
struggle
with
mental
illness
tend
to
have
difficulty
with
the
regimens
of
daily
life
and
find
themselves
unable
to
live
on
their
own.
However,
FIR
encourages
residents
to
live
as
independently
as
they
can
by
providing
a
structured,
goal
oriented
support
program
that
focuses
on
developing
self-reliance
through
specific
lifestyle guidance.
Our home should not be viewed as simply housing. At Family
Initiative Residences, Inc., members and staff work together to
teach our residents living skills, provide emotional support,
encourage independence and improve self-esteem.
Through our collective efforts, the residents receive not only an
alternative to the streets and institutions, but also the ability to
experience and live life in spite of their illness.
Our Story
In 1985, members of the Georgia Alliance For The Mentally Ill (now NAMI Georgia) formed Family Initiative Residences in order to
provide a stable home environment for their mentally ill family members. After a year of severe financial struggle, FIR opened its first
personal care home in April of 1986 in Decatur and another in Stone Mountain in October of 1987. The program has grown to include
another personal care home and Semi-Independent apartments. In 2006 we moved the FIR campus to historic olde town Conyers. It has
grown to include a 16 bed personal care home and 22 unit independent apartments.
