CHRIS 180

Children do not always have the words to explain when they are struggling.

As parents, educators, and community leaders, it is important to pay attention to the signs that a child may need extra emotional support, which can help children feel seen, safe, and understood.

If your child needs additional support, CHRIS 180's counseling services may be the answer.

As May comes to a close, this Self-Care Sunday is a reminder that small steps still matter.

Mental health care is not always about major change. Sometimes it looks like keeping an appointment, asking for help, taking a walk, getting more rest, or making it through a hard week one day at a time.

Progress does not have to be big to be meaningful.

As the school year wraps up, we're celebrating School-Based Mental Health Therapists. At CHRIS 180, our school-based therapists work in over 80 schools in metro Atlanta, helping students through the many challenges they face.

Marquita Davis, a CHRIS 180 school-based therapist who works in 2 elementary schools in Fulton County, shares why being in the schools is so important, how it impacts students and their development, as well as how they work with parents.

Women’s health includes emotional well-being too.

Mental and emotional health affect how people move through daily life, care for themselves, support their families, and stay connected to their communities. When women have access to care, support, and space to prioritize their well-being, the impact often reaches far beyond the individual.

Strong support for women can help strengthen families and create healthier communities over time.

As May comes to a close, Mental Health Awareness Month and Foster Care Month leave us with an important reminder, care, connection, and prevention all matter.

Support is not only about responding in moments of crisis. It is also about building strong relationships, increasing access to care, supporting families early, and creating the kind of community resources that help children and adults feel seen, safe, and supported over time.

At CHRIS 180, that work continues beyond one month. Every day, we remain committed to providing services that strengthen emotional well-being, support family stability, and help create better long-term outcomes across metro Atlanta.
