CEO/Family Advocate Melshanique Collins

Welcome,

With great pleasure, I extend my warmest greetings and introduce myself as an individual with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of child protective services. Over the past seven years, I have had the privilege of working diligently within the Department of Family and Children Services, where I have traversed various positions ranging from a dedicated case manager to a compassionate supervisor and, ultimately, an esteemed administrator.

Throughout my tenure, I have effectively closed thousands of cases, nurturing the welfare of countless children and families. My professional endeavors have led me to collaborate with some of the largest counties in Georgia, including DeKalb, Fulton, Henry, Clayton, Gwinnett, and Spalding. These engagements have allowed me to cultivate strong working relationships with our esteemed local partners within the community.

In 2018, I proudly obtained my Master of Arts in Human Service Counseling from Liberty University, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy. My educational foundation, coupled with my extensive practical experience, equips me with a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted challenges families face in their pursuit of stability and well-being. However, above all my accomplishments and qualifications, it is my firm belief that my work in this field is divinely ordained. I humbly acknowledge the calling placed upon my heart by God to serve His purpose in fostering grace, love, and support within families and communities. It is my earnest desire to extend these principles of faith, compassion, and understanding as I devote myself to serving your family and the community at large.

Together, we can navigate the complexities of the child welfare system, advocating for the best interests of your loved ones. By providing steadfast support, unwavering dedication, and utilizing my comprehensive expertise, I aim to facilitate positive transformations in the lives of those I have the privilege to assist.

I look forward to embarking on this journey with you and standing as a steadfast ally, advocating for the well-being and prosperity of your family and our community.
