Stone Named 2026 Atlanta Business Chronicle Women of Influence Honoree 

We are proud to celebrate CHRIS 180 President and CEO Cati Diamond Stone, who has been named a 2026 Women of Influence honoree by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. The recognition honors women whose professional achievements and community contributions are helping shape metro Atlanta. 

Since joining CHRIS 180 in 2024, Cati has helped sharpen our focus on the work where we can make the greatest difference: mental health services, foster care and adoption, and support for young adults experiencing homelessness. Her approach centers on going deeper in our areas of expertise while strengthening partnerships that help people access a broader network of support. 

“One of the biggest drivers of our current impact has been a narrowing of our focus, where we are the best of the best, and going deeper instead of wider,” Cati shared in her Chronicle profile. 

That focus translates into support across our community. In 2025, CHRIS 180 delivered more than 54,000 behavioral health sessions, with school-based care reaching students in 86 schools. We also supported 54 families through foster care and adoption and provided stable housing for 40 young adults and their families at Summit Trail Apartments. Each reflects our commitment to helping people find healing, connection and lasting stability. 

Cati also brings a commitment to developing people. Having benefited from mentors who advocated for her, she works to create opportunities for other women to grow and lead. That belief in people’s potential connects closely with the purpose that brings our team together every day. 

Please join us in congratulating Cati on this well-deserved honor. We are grateful for her leadership and for the staff, partners and supporters who help CHRIS 180 heal children, strengthen families and build community.
