School-Based Services

CHRIS 180 has provided school-based mental health services in metro Atlanta since 2013.

Our school-based mental health team serves elementary, middle and high schools in Atlanta Public Schools, Clayton County Schools, Dekalb County Schools and Fulton County Schools. Each school receives onsite trauma-informed counseling services, with a CHRIS 180 therapist integrated into the school environment.

Partner schools can also receive skill training and resources for students, consultation and coaching for school staff and trauma informed care training for teachers and school personnel.
