CHRIS 180

The Official page for CHRIS 180. Learn more at www.CHRIS180.org

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.

Self-care often shows up in everyday decisions. Saying no. Adjusting expectations. Creating space where needed.

Boundaries are learned skills. Support can help strengthen them without guilt or conflict.

CHRIS 180 provides counseling services for individuals and families across metro Atlanta. Learn more on our website.

03/13/2026

National Child Advocacy Day is a time to recognize the responsibility we share to protect children and support their well-being.

Advocacy means ensuring children are seen, heard, and supported with care that understands trauma and prioritizes long-term stability. It also means strengthening families so children can heal and thrive in safe, supportive environments.

CHRIS 180 advocates for children through trauma-informed counseling, family support, and community-based services across metro Atlanta.

Learn more about how advocacy shows up in our work on our website.

The need for youth mental health support is real.

According to the CDC, 1 in 5 children ages 3–17 has a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorder. Many of these needs go unmet due to access barriers, timing, or lack of support.

Early, accessible care matters. Support should be available before challenges escalate.

CHRIS 180 provides counseling and family support for children and families across metro Atlanta.

Counseling is often misunderstood.

It is not about being told what to do. It is not only for crisis moments. It is not limited to one type of challenge.

Counseling provides a structured, confidential space to process emotions, build coping skills, and work through behavioral or life challenges with professional support.

At CHRIS 180, counseling services support children, adults, and families across metro Atlanta.

Learn more about available counseling options on our website.

Self-care includes having language for what you feel. Many people experience stress or frustration without knowing how to describe it.

Counseling can help build emotional awareness and communication skills that support healthier relationships and decision-making.

CHRIS 180 offers counseling services across metro Atlanta. Learn more on our website.

03/05/2026

Social Work Month is a time to recognize the full scope of social work, beyond counseling sessions alone.

Social work includes crisis response, family stabilization, care coordination, advocacy, and long-term support that helps children and families navigate complex systems and real-life challenges.

At CHRIS 180, social workers support families in schools, homes, and communities, addressing both immediate needs and long-term stability.

Learn more about our programs and services on our website.

What happens when community leaders come together to focus on the real issues facing Atlanta’s children and families? Action follows.

CHRIS 180 was proud to host LEAD Atlanta for their Community Issues Day. It was a meaningful opportunity to bring leaders inside our work and into conversations that shape long-term impact.

Over the past several weeks, we have partnered with a LEAD Atlanta cohort to develop a comprehensive partnership strategy that strengthens collaboration across metro Atlanta. Strong partnerships expand access to behavioral health counseling, family support, and community-based services.

We are grateful for their engagement and commitment to building stronger systems of care.

Today is National Caregiver Appreciation Day, a moment to recognize the parents, foster parents, kinship caregivers, and family members supporting children with behavioral or emotional needs.

Caregiving requires patience, consistency, and emotional strength, often without much pause. Support for caregivers matters just as much as support for children.

CHRIS 180 offers counseling and family services designed to support the whole household. Learn more about available resources at CHRIS180.org.

March often brings changing routines. New sports schedules. School transitions. Packed calendars.

Even positive change can create stress, fatigue, or emotional strain. Transitions take adjustment. That is true for children, teens, and adults.

Support during these seasons can help families stay steady, communicate clearly, and build healthy coping skills before stress escalates.

CHRIS 180 provides counseling and family support across metro Atlanta for individuals and families navigating change. Care does not need to wait for a crisis.

Winter can take a toll. Shorter days, colder weather, and long routines can leave many people feeling low on energy or motivation. These feelings are common, and they do not mean you are doing anything wrong.

As spring approaches, brighter days are ahead. Support can help you move through this season with more steadiness and care. You do not have to navigate winter fatigue on your own.

CHRIS 180 offers counseling and support for individuals and families across metro Atlanta. Learn more at chris180.org.

02/23/2026

A fresh start to the week does not require having all the answers. It is okay to begin where you are and take things one step at a time.

Progress often comes from small, steady efforts rather than perfect plans. Giving yourself space to move forward without pressure can help reduce stress and create clarity.

If you or someone you care about could use support, CHRIS 180 is here. Learn more at chris180.org.

02/22/2026

As February comes to a close, self-care can look like taking a moment to reflect on what supported you this month. Not everything has to be resolved or improved. Noticing what helped is enough.

Before the new week and month begin, consider one thing you want to carry forward. A routine that felt grounding. A habit that brought calm. A moment of rest that made a difference.

Support remains available as seasons change. Learn more about care options at chris180.org.
