Ellen Wilkins Counseling and Therapy
Dear friends, Children deserve a better Tennessee. For over 30 years, we have done whatever it takes to build stronger communities that foster safe, stable nurturing environments for every child across Tennessee. We continue to provide weekly home-based services, immediate crisis counseling, and advocate on behalf of vulnerable families every single day. We believe every child deserves a great childhood. This year, as we celebrated all the progress in Tennessee, Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee strengthened it’s resolve to reach more families who need the services, resources, and supportive relationships children require to thrive. As our state crafted a plan to build strong brains, we were proud to be called on as a leader in this important initiative to prevent adverse childhood experiences. Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee also is joining forces at the local level to advocate for ambitious plans in every community that ensure every single child has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life. Thanks to your tremendous support, we made significant progress in meeting our goals this year. We reached an estimated 882 children, demonstrating strong program outcomes across all our services. Over 1,600 children and caregivers participated in our in-home services. We answered 5,639 calls on our helpline and formally partnered with 10 domestic violence shelters, improving response times to survivors in their moment of need. And we equipped thousands of adults with the knowledge and information they need to better protect children from abuse in their own backyard. Results like these require prudent management of valuable resources, and we are grateful for our many partners and donors who generously support our work. As we look ahead to another year, our innovative evidence-based programs and relentless advocacy will demonstrate that our vision for every child in Tennessee to thrive in a safe, stable, nurturing home and community is well within our reach. Thank you on behalf of all the children in Tennessee,
Kristen Rector Trevor Garrett President & CEO Board Chair

every day
Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee is on the ground every day, giving children a healthy start, building strong brains, and nurturing relationships through our home-based programs. Partnering with parents who are working to overcome many challenges and painful pasts, we are breaking the cycle of abuse. Our programs address each family's unique needs and deliver life-changing results, minimizing the risk for adverse childhood experiences. 6
NURTURING PARENTING
Parents in the Nurturing Parenting program come to us with a variety of experiences that influence their parenting practices. A mother who experienced corporal punishment as the norm in her own childhood has now committed to using alternative discipline strategies for her own children after completing the "Understanding Discipline" curriculum. She is using positive reinforcement instead, with the hope of fostering creativity, selfworth, and personal power and independence in her children. Parents in the program discuss many valuable topics with their in-home facilitator, such as protecting their children, parenting with empathy, the importance of establishing routine, and how children develop. Parents also are encouraged to meet their own social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional needs so that they can meet those same needs of their children.
"As a new parent, you don't really know what you're doing. It's nice to have some sort of compass to go by." - Tyne, parent in our evidence-based, in-home program 7
every day STEWARDS OF CHILDREN
Keeping children safe is an adult job. Faith communities, businesses, schools, and concerned citizens across Tennessee are committing to protecting children through Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children training program. Groups from five to 50 are learning steps they can take every day to prevent child sexual abuse in their family, church, neighborhood, and beyond.
1,249 adults trained to minimize the risk of child sexual abuse in their communities

24-HOUR STATEWIDE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HELPLINE Our Domestic Violence Helpline has dramatically expanded services this year, reaching 5,639 survivors and making life-saving connections. Partnering with 10 shelters across the state, our helpline counselors are lifting a significant burden by taking the shelters' afterhours and weekend calls. This allows the shelters to concentrate on face-to-face interventions, with confidence that their calls are being answered by qualified and well-trained staff. In addition, our helpline counselors are now trained to work with law enforcement officers and specialized community providers to better link survivors to needed services.

from the beginning
Kiara works with her home visitor to learn about healthy child brain development and the difference between a stimulated brain 10 and a neglected brain.
As early as pre-natally, parents begin to learn about the importance of nurturing and bonding with their children. Our home visitors encourage new mothers to attend pre-natal visits with their doctor, as well as find ways to bond with their baby before and after birth, creating an environment for a healthy, happy childhood right from the start.
HEALTHY FAMILIES TENNESSEE Families enroll in the Healthy Families Tennessee program because they want the best possible life for their children. We partner with parents to help them navigate the rollercoaster ride that parenthood can be. Home visitors support, coach, and educate parents about the importance of creating a safe, stable, nurturing environment for their children. Parents are empowered by learning primary care-giving and basic life skills, seeing parent-child bonding behaviors modeled by their home visitor, and receiving group support so they can interact and learn from their peers.
564 number of families in 20 counties who benefitted from healthy families tennessee this year
As a result, we have seen improvement in maternal, newborn, and child health, reductions in child maltreatment, and children meeting child developmental milestones preparing them to begin school.
"When I first started in the program, I didn't think I needed it. But there are so many things that I didn't know about how to take care of Aiden. I do need this. Every parent needs this." -Kiara, parent in the Healthy Families Tennessee program

for our future Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee is joining with other leaders to challenge Tennesseans to create a future for our children that is free of abuse and neglect. The next generation of Tennesseans can be healthier and more productive citizens if we prevent childhood adversity now.
This year, Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee spearheaded a Nashvillebased collaborative effort to reduce Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) called ACE Nashville. This collective has sparked over 130 organizations to become involved in a public health initiative to create a better Nashville for our youngest citizens.

Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee CEO Kristen Rector was invited to participate in Governor Bill Haslam's statewide effort, Building Strong Brains, to prevent ACEs. It is aimed at changing the culture of our state to focus more on the early years and use brain science to impact our state’s prosperity.
In East Tennessee, we expanded the Stewards of Children program and are leading the Community Coalition to Protect Children. It is designed to bring training to adults to teach them to better protect children from the dangers of child sexual abuse.
a program of Parent Partnership team members are transforming community practice by infusing parent voices in policy and program decisions impacting children and families across the state. Parent leaders are leading conversations in the community about advocating for children with disabilities, bullying prevention, and and protecting children from sexual abuse, among many others. As a result, parents are empowered and equipped to resolve systematic barriers that prevent children from reaching their full potential. Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee would like to thank Parent Leaders across the state: TYNE BEASLEY
