Spirit of the Season: Celebrating with Our Youth & Young Adults - 2022

SPIRIT

Our special thanks to everyone whose support of CHRIS 180 made the holiday season special, including but not limited to:

J.C. Kennedy Foundation

Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation Macy’s Georgia-Pacific

For the Kid in All Of Us Atlanta Falcons

Judge T. Jackson Bedford, Jr.

Thank You For Helping Us Make The Holidays Special

During the holiday season, we invite youth from across our programs and services, from our counseling centers, foster homes and our Summit Trail Apartments for young adults aging out of foster care or experiencing homelessness to our School-Based Mental Health program, and beyond, to reflect on what they’re grateful for and their goals. Then we come together to celebrate the season and remind them of how far they have come and the exciting things that lie ahead.

Our team works year-round to meet them where they are, understand their trauma and give them the support they need to heal and move toward the future they want.

This booklet includes their reflections, in their own words. We are excited to give you a window into their hopes for the future and the new year. Every day, thanks to friends like you, we provide them with the therapy, safe homes and individualized support they need to grow into the people they want to be.

And thanks to you, they’ll celebrate the holidays with joy and gifts of their own.

We are so proud to do this work together. Thank you for being part of our village.

CHRIS 180 provides families with the care they need to thrive, like this grandmother and her two granddaughters!
