The Emergence of Powell Mental Health

Powell Mental Health was founded by Georgia Powell, MBA, MHA, DHAc, in response to the intense demands of individuals needing assistance to pivot through their health and wellness journey. Over the past few years, the world has encountered the COVID-19 pandemic, which has triggered a global health crisis and consequently adversely impacted the mental health of our communities.
