CRITI invests in the family as a whole. More healthy, confident, self-sufficient families in Chattanooga benefit local schools and workplaces and hopefully inspire families to spend more time together healing. As CRITI families in transition begin to engage in these programs, results should follow quickly.
Healing from trauma takes a village. We’re proud to support CRITI and families experiencing homelessness here in Chattanooga.
