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.

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

CHRIS 180 team members recently attended the 17th annual System of Care Academy Conference focusing on behavioral health services for youth and families. Our VP of School-Based Mental Health, Brittney Walters, LCSW, hosted a breakout session attended by more than 60 clinical professionals from across the state. She shared the best practices that have set CHRIS 180 apart from others in providing on-site services in over 95 schools over the past ten years. Our Resource Navigators were also in attendance, embodying the collaborative spirit of CHRIS 180. They were there to connect with conference-goers and find opportunities to partner with other organizations helping Georgia youth and families. Thank you, Brittney, for your leadership on our school-based team and for taking the program to new heights! We also thank our Resource Navigators for representing CHRIS 180 in our community and beyond!
