The “I Matter” Project: Saving Young Lives in Chattooga County

Today on The Mark White Show, I’m joined by Coach Blaine Woody to talk about a grassroots effort born from heartbreak, The “I Matter” Project of Chattooga County. After two suicides have shaken the community in Northwest Georgia, Blaine and co-founder Michael Farmer stepped forward with a mission to remind every young person that they are valued, seen, and never alone.

In this conversation, Blaine shares how the initiative began, what they hope to build, and how the community can help create a safe, supportive place for local kids through mentorship, counseling, activities, and connection.

This is an honest, compassionate discussion about loss, hope, and taking action before another life is gone. Listen & share.
