Social Services

The McNabb Center offers a continuum of social services for families in need. The Center provides supervised visitation and behavior modification as well as a Therapeutic Foster Care & Adoption program.


Therapeutic Foster Care & Adoption

The McNabb Center’s Therapeutic Foster Care & Adoption program serves children and teens who are in state’s custody due to abuse or neglect and who have behavioral or emotional problems. These children need a more specialized type of care than what they can find in standard foster homes. The purpose of therapeutic foster care is to help each child so that he or she may go on to live successfully within the community.

Become a foster parent! Help a child live the life they were meant to live. Provide the support and stability a child needs at the most critical time of their lives.

To learn more about the McNabb Center’s Therapeutic Foster Care & Adoption program, call (865) 544-5000 or follow it on Facebook.


Supervised Visitation

The McNabb Center’s Parent Place program provides supervised visitation for children and their non-custodial parents, grandparents or other relatives. If you are experiencing a difficult divorce, or other custodial issue, the McNabb Center can provide a professional to observe visits in a safe and discreet location.

To find out if your family is eligible for this service, or to learn about other family programs, call us at 1-800-255-9711.

Behavioral Modification

The McNabb Center is here to help parents or caregivers struggling with a young child’s behavior. The Regional Intervention Program (RIP), a nationally-recognized model, is designed to help children ages 2-5 decrease unwanted behaviors while strengthening social skills and empowering parents to set appropriate limits and consequences.

To learn about this and other early childhood programs offered by the Center, call us at 1-800-255-9711


Home Visitation

The McNabb Center’s home visitation program, Healthy Families, is a free and voluntary program that offers support services to new or expecting families. The program’s approach is relationship-based, culturally respectful, family-centered and strengths-based. Healthy Families offers education, support and resource services to help strengthen families. This program is rooted in the belief that early, nurturing relationships are the foundation for lifelong healthy development.

Integrated Health

In rural communities, access to services tends to be a concern and the McNabb Center’s Mobile Health Clinic helps to break down barriers of accessing traditional health care. This program, which is part of Project Rural Recovery and funded by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services, screens for mental health, substance use and chronic health conditions and provides mental health and substance use treatment. The program also provides preventative health screenings, including TB, HIV and Hepatitis. The Mobile Health Clinic serves Cocke, Grainger, Hancock, Jefferson and Claiborne counties. To learn more, call 1-800-255-9711 or follow the Mobile Health Clinic on Facebook.

The McNabb Center offers a full range of early childhood intervention and prevention programming, including Therapeutic Preschool.

Therapeutic Preschool is a 10-week outpatient program for children ages 4-6 who have experienced a traumatic event, such as abuse, neglect, natural disaster or loss of a loved one. The program helps children learn to manage difficult feelings and make safe choices. Children attend for three hours a day, three days a week and the environment replicates a daycare setting.
