Pledge to make a difference, together.
CHRIS 180 was founded in 1981 to provide a brighter future for children in the Georgia foster care system with significant mental health needs. Over the years, we expanded services to provide trauma-informed care to children, adults, and families through counseling at twelve counseling sites and in 83 Title I schools; foster homes for abused and neglected children; adoption services; drop-in centers for teens and young adults; a supportive housing program for youth who are experiencing homelessness or aged out of the foster care system; and in-home programs. We offer physical health care, re-entry, essential support services, and emergency assistance. Our mission is to heal children, strengthen families and build community. Our vision is that high-quality, trauma-informed behavioral health services and support systems are available to all children, adults, and families. Since our founding, we have served over 200,000 children, youth, and families.
