The Christi Center

“We’re sorry for what brings you here, but we’re glad you found us.”

-Susan Cox, Founder, The Christi Center

For 25 years, The Christi Center has been providing free, ongoing grief support to anyone in Central Texas who is adjusting to life after the death of a loved one, regardless of circumstances.

We offer:

• Peer-based support groups for children, teens and adults

Have you seen the wonderful new addition to our home yet?  With a dedicated space for children’s groups, a resource library, and additional meeting rooms and staff offices, the family building gives us room to serve growing numbers of people in need of love, hope, comfort and support after the loss of a loved one.  If you haven’t seen it yet, we’d love for you to stop by anytime!  Contact Cara Fox at christicenter.org to set up a tour.

Christi Center co-founder, Susan Cox, was named a 2011 Local Hero as part of Bank of America’s Neighborhood Excellence Initiative® for her community leadership and service.  Bank of America made a $5,000 contribution to The Christi Center in Susan’s honor for this award.   Thanks to Susan’s efforts, families who may have fallen apart under the stress of grief instead find support and safety in the resources The Christi Center offers.   Susan is truly a local hero to the more than 72,000 Central Texans served by The Christi Center over the past 24 years, many of whom say that Susan and Don Cox and The Christi Center literally saved their lives—not to mention their marriages and families.  Because of Susan’s grassroots efforts and example of leadership and service, last year The Christi Center had over 100 volunteers who donated 10,000 hours of service. Congratulations, Susan, and thanks to Bank of America!
