CHRIS 180 was founded in Georgia in 1981 as a collaboration between the Junior League of Atlanta and the Menninger Foundation to bridge gaps in foster care services for children who required residential mental health treatment, but who did not need institutionalization/hospitalization. We accomplish our mission by ensuring child and family well-being through mental health treatment and stable living environments; preventing family problems through education, counseling and teaching life skills; and impacting public policies through advocacy. We are one of the Southeast’s premiere mental health, child welfare and family service organizations. We are a leader in Georgia and a founding member of multiple collaborations to help children and families. Today, we save, serve and protect thousands of abused and neglected children while empowering families through positive, solution focused programming which includes: behavioral health, life/social/vocational skill development, group homes, community services, training and housing programs.

Our licensed therapists offer support for anxiety, depression, grief, and other concerns that may feel heavier this time of year.

This Saturday, CHRIS 180 welcomed families for our annual Holiday Celebration and Shopping Event. It was a day filled with joy, connection, and care.

Families shopped our holiday pop-up store, selected gifts for their loved ones, and enjoyed time with Santa, his elves, and even a special visit from Freddy the Falcon. Our dedicated volunteers wrapped gifts and helped create a space where families felt welcomed, supported, and celebrated.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated gifts and gave their time to make this event possible. Because of your generosity, CHRIS 180 families experienced the holidays with warmth, dignity, and hope. Together, we made the season a little brighter.

💛 Self Care Sunday is here.

This week’s reminder: keep your body and mind grounded during a busy season.

🌬️🧘 Gentle Movement: Take a short walk, stretch for a few minutes, or move your body in a way that feels comfortable. Slow movement can reduce tension and support emotional balance.

A little movement goes a long way in helping you stay steady through the month.

As the month continues, stress can build from ongoing expectations, family dynamics, and constant activity. A few practical steps can help you stay supported.

Try these approaches this week:
• Limit unnecessary commitments to protect your energy
• Check in with your emotions before responding in tense moments
• Keep meals, sleep, and movement as steady as possible
• Spend 20 minutes each day doing an activity that relaxes your mind, such as coloring.
• Ask for help when you need added support

If stress begins to feel overwhelming, CHRIS 180 therapists are here to help children, teens, and adults.

Call 1-800-896-4106 today or visit CHRIS180.org to learn more.

We are thankful for every partner, donor, and advocate who supported CHRIS 180 this year. Your generosity helped us show up for children, teens, and families across metro Atlanta.

It allowed our counselors to sit with students in schools, guide young people in community centers, and provide care in the moments when support mattered most.

Your commitment strengthened mental health services, expanded wraparound support, and helped families build stability. You made it possible for CHRIS 180 to be where our community needs us, when they need us.

But we are not done. Many families are still facing mental health challenges and housing instability. Your end-of-year gift helps us reach more people, provide more counseling, and keep vital programs in place.

Make an impact today at chris180.org/donate.

Thank you for standing with CHRIS 180.

🌬️🧘 December Reset: Take a few minutes to check in with yourself, notice how you are feeling, and choose one small practice that supports your well being today.

Beginning the month with awareness helps lower stress and sets a steady tone for the weeks ahead.

A gentle reset can make the season feel more manageable.
