CHRIS 180

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.

A Child's Place Of Charlotte

A Child's Place works to erase the impact of homelessness on children and their education. Our vision is to provide stability within the classroom for homeless, at-risk students and, at the same time, assess and strengthen their families to remove barriers that led to the homeless crisis. Our strategy has two essential components: resolve the child's immediate basic needs while creating a case plan that supports his or her continued focus on education in one of our partner schools; and assess and advocate on behalf of the student's family through a case plan to resolve issues that led to the family's immediate homeless crisis. This unique partnership creates a holistic approach to encourage our students to stay focused on their education.
