The same city, an hour apart
People here plan their whole week around traffic, and many give up on evening plans across town before they make them. Residents name the cost of housing as the biggest problem in the region, and most say they could not afford to move within their own neighborhood. It has been a hard stretch for people in public health and in film and television, two fields that brought many workers to Atlanta. When ice, snow or tropical rain arrives, the whole region can come to a stop.
How peer support helps near Atlanta
An online group takes the Connector out of the equation. You can finish work, close the laptop and be in a room with people who understand a few minutes later, and that is often the difference between having support and going without.
