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.

💛 It's time for self-care Sunday!

This week’s reminder: prepare for the holidays with peace, not pressure.

🦃Try This: Before the week begins, take 10 minutes to plan moments of calm. Schedule short breaks between gatherings, say no when you need to, and make rest part of your to-do list.

Creating gentle boundaries helps you enjoy the season instead of rushing through it.

You deserve a holiday that feels peaceful, not pressured. 🌟

The holidays can bring a mix of excitement and big emotions, especially for kids. Between changes in routine, family gatherings, and the pressure to make everything “perfect,” it’s easy for both children and adults to feel overwhelmed.

Here are five ways to help kids navigate their feelings with care and understanding:

1. Create safe spaces for open, honest conversations

2. Acknowledge and validate their emotions, even the difficult ones

3. Maintain routines to provide stability and comfort

4. Model calm behavior and prioritize self-care

5. Focus on genuine connection, rather than striving for perfection

Remember, the holidays don’t have to look perfect to be meaningful. Sometimes, the most powerful moments come from simply showing up with patience, presence, and love.

Small moments of support can make a big difference in helping children feel seen, safe, and understood.

💙 CHRIS 180’s counselors are here to help.

💛 This week’s self-care Sunday reminder: your mind needs quiet time, too.

📵 Try This: Choose one hour today to unplug completely—no scrolling, no emails, no screens. Fill that time with rest, connection, or something creative.

A short digital break can make space for clarity, focus, and calm.

You deserve moments of stillness. 🌙

Hope. Healing. Stability.

At CHRIS 180, these aren’t just words — they’re outcomes we see every day because of a community that shows up.

In the past year, children, youth, and families across metro Atlanta have found safety, belonging, and support through our behavioral health services, safe housing programs, and trauma-informed care. Behind every data point is a person rewriting their story, and a reminder of what’s possible when compassion meets action.

The need for mental health care continues to grow, but so does our impact. As we strengthen partnerships, expand access, and invest in lasting change, our focus remains clear: ensuring every child and family has the tools to thrive.

Together, we can continue creating lasting impact.

Join us as we work toward our $100,000 year-end goal to make healing accessible, communities resilient, and hope within reach for all. 💙
