Testimonials

“Focus Up, Inc.’s Founder, Tamika Jackson, has been an incredible support during my adult son’s mental health journey. She guided me through a crisis situation, helped me understand how to properly make a mental health emergency call to 911, and coached me on what to ask doctors, nurses, and social workers. She also connected us with outpatient resources to continue his care. I truly could not have navigated this journey without her. The Gwinnett County community will be blessed by the knowledge and support Focus Up provides.”

- M. Zambrana
