Positive Transition Services in all honesty saved my life , Ms. Bartola Anderson and her staff go above and beyond to help in any way they can.
Before PTS, I was homeless living in a shelter. PTS gave me a place to live and support. My future goal is to become a certified Mental Health Specialist. Thanks, PTS!
Your support and donations have helped to ensure that students at Camp Creek Middle School were equipped with the fundamental resources and materials needed to succeed in school...PTS has demonstrated care for the educators in our community by providing our schools with essential supplies.
When I came to Positive Transition Services things changed. I started working, making new friends; but most of all I AM GETTING MY LIFE BACK! In the short time that I have been in PTS, I was asked to join a Lead position on the Fundraising team. I am humbled that they believe in me; because I am trying to do my best for my new family and it is a family.
I would say the most impactful thing for me thus far is having the opportunity to hear their stories, see their desire to be better, and have the opportunity to be apart of that transition. Whether the outcomes are good or bad, being a part of that process is always rewarding.

Message From our Founder
Bartola Anderson is a well-educated professional dedicated to serving her community in any way possible. The Atlanta native struggled for years with homelessness, depression, poverty, and addiction- all while single-handedly raising two children in a high crime environment. Eventually, Ms. Anderson reconnected with Christ and successfully turned her life around. She attended Clayton State University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and obtained her Master’s Degree in Education from Central Michigan University. As a woman with difficult experiences of her own, Ms. Anderson routinely draws on her first-hand experience during the everyday operation of Positive Transition Services. She knows how valuable a helping hand can be in a trying time. It can literally be the difference between someone overcoming or succumbing to their trials in life.
