The Chestnut Family Foundation has donated $200,000 to CHRIS 180 to fill in gaps in services for children in foster care. CHRIS 180 provides trauma-informed mental health counseling and essential support services for high acuity children and youth in their group foster homes, sibling foster homes, and youth in foster care in the community. Their counseling programs help children build resilience, facilitate recovery from trauma, anxiety, and depression, and promote healing and a positive sense of well-being and confidence that will foster the ability to thrive.
Serving the Atlanta community, CHRIS 180 has been at the forefront of behavioral health and child welfare service delivery since 1981. They provide critical behavioral health services that aid in recovery from past and present trauma, anxiety, depression, and suicidal feelings and that enable children to unlock their potential to achieve.
We're honored to continue our relationship with CHRIS 180 and to support these essential services they provide to the most vulnerable children in our foster care system.
