Christi Center is a nonprofit organization focused on grief support in the Austin area. It was founded in 1987 by Susan and Don Cox after their daughter Christi was killed by a drunk driver, with the aim of addressing the lack of affordable resources for families coping with death loss. The center's mission is to offer hope by providing free, peer-based, ongoing support networks, community education, and therapeutic activities for those grieving a loved one. These services are designed to help families adjust to life after loss and are provided at no cost to participants.

The organization runs free grief support groups monthly at sites in Austin and Georgetown, serving people from ages five to adulthood with loss-specific tracks such as child loss, spousal loss, and losses to crime, overdose, or suicide. Additional groups center on veterans, a men's group, a mother's group, and programs for children and teens, with partnerships with local schools to offer groups onsite during the school day. Christi Center is based in Austin, Texas, and operates as a small to mid-sized nonprofit focused on ongoing peer support for those grieving.
