Our mission is to
support young people
in overcoming social
and emotional barriers
through creative
and innovative
programs centering
on prevention,
intervention,
treatment, training and
compassion.
This agency is funded, in part, by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance
Abuse Services and the Tennessee Department of Education. This agency is funded, in part,
under an agreement with the state of Tennessee.
STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SAP)
An evidence-based program that addresses social and emotional
barriers for youth, such as substance abuse, violence and bullying.
SAP counselors are on-site in schools throughout the academic
school year.
KIDS ON THE BLOCK (KOB)
An interactive program that educates students in grades K-4 about
health and social concerns that affect their lives. Using puppets and
other teaching tools, KOB promotes understanding and acceptance
of all children and adults, regardless of their differences.
MOVE2STAND (M2S)
An interactive youth development training that challenges students
to examine their attitudes toward bullying. This one-day youth summit
creates empathy and helps young leaders understand how bullying
impacts school climate and communities.
SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE DEAF OR
HARD OF HEARING (DHH)
A program designed to prevent the use of alcohol, tobacco and
other drugs among deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals from
kindergarten through early adulthood. These students are naturally
at a higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse because of their
increased difficulties with communication, isolation, depression,
learning and family connections.
TRAINING DEPARTMENT
We provide training and professional development for entire school
systems, school administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, school
support personnel, parents and community-based organizations to address
nonacademic barriers that challenge students on a daily basis.
YOUTH OVERCOMING DRUG ABUSE (YODA)
A program that provides intensive outpatient substance abuse
treatment for adolescents and young adults. YODA provides
compassionate care and treatment services to people with
substance abuse and co-occurring disorders without regard to
race, color, gender, culture, religion or creed, socioeconomic status,
language, sexual orientation or national origin.
