Kathy Colbenson On Leadership

As president and CEO of CHRIS 180, Kathy Colbenson has been on a mission, “to try to make the world a better place and help people to be their best selves.” That’s been her North Star since she took the helm of the non-profit in 1987. Since then, CHRIS 180 has had many accomplishments including creating the first program in the state for youth aging out of foster care, and launching the first school-based mental health program. It provides trauma-informed counseling in more than 82 schools in metro Atlanta.
