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.

Join CHRIS 180 in celebrating our new VP of School-Based Mental Health, Melissa Bauman-Fletcher, LMFT! Six years ago, Bauman-Fletcher joined CHRIS 180 as a therapist at our permanent supportive housing program, Summit Trail Apartments, while also supporting youth experiencing homelessness at our drop-in center. In 2020, she joined our School-Based Mental Health team as a clinical program manager before being promoted to director in 2022, where she led a team of clinical program managers and therapists. "As the new VP of School-Based Mental Health, I'm looking forward to continuing to support our amazing team of therapists and the work they do every day in 80+ schools across Metro Atlanta. As part of that, I'm really honored to witness the amazing changes and growth that happen with children and families," shared Bauman-Fletcher. Her commitment and passion for helping children and families are inspiring, and we are so thrilled to have her as a new member of our executive leadership team! Help us congratulate Melissa in the comments!
