Our mission is to heal children, strengthen families and build community.
About us
Since 1981, the CHRIS 180 mission has been to heal children, strengthen families and build community. CHRIS is an acronym that represents our core values: Creativity, Honor, Respect, Integrity and Safety. Our goal is to unlock the potential of Georgia’s youth and fortify families by providing a hand up, not just a handout, through our integrated Family of Services. We believe that potential is a right, not a privilege. This holistic approach enables children, youth and families to unlock their potential for happiness, health and success despite challenging circumstances, often beyond their control. We offer an array of individualized programs through our Family of Services which includes: Behavioral Health, Safe Homes & Environments, Strong Communities and Education & Training. Our ambition is to be Georgia's go-to place where every vulnerable child or traumatized youth discovers how to unlock their potential.

As summer break comes to an end for students, CHRIS 180's School-Based Mental Health program is helping families gear up for another school year! Our team was invited to participate in Atlanta Public Schools' 10th annual Back-to-School Bash at the Georgia World Congress Center, joining more than 200 exhibitors in providing school supplies and resources for students and parents. Our partners at Atlanta Public Schools noted that they had over 16,000 pre-registrations for the celebration! Kristen Hendrix, LPC, CPCS, Ruyaa Mahmud, LPC, and Taylar Avery, APC, represented CHRIS 180 well at the huge event! We are grateful for their commitment to helping children and their families thrive this upcoming school year!

Lights! Camera! Action! Exciting news! CHRIS 180 was one of a few organizations nationwide chosen to be featured in a video produced by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Our infant and early childhood mental health program, New Generation, was highlighted for continuing to grow its impact after completing a five-year grant from SAMHSA and transitioning it to a program that bills for service. Team members and our partners discussed how they interact with families and children in the wraparound program and some of the success stories they have helped bring to life. Stay tuned for the full video! #SAMHSA #CHRIS180 #mentalhealth #atlantanonprofit
