With the help of a group of clinicians and our regional coordinator, Elliott Moore, working in the northeast corner of Tennessee, we are excited to join with the EDCT in creating a new region, EDCT-Northeast. Frontier Health and Mountain States Health Alliance have joined as Organizational Members of the EDCT and are working to bring EDCT programs to the Tri-cities area.
We are excited to announce a new Families Supporting Families group!
Families Supporting Families Support Group:

In addition, EDCT-Northeast is also planning on implementing YES! Teams in area middle and high schools and has already held seminars for professionals and families as well as leading a Speakers Bureau training for new EDCT members. These are only the first steps in making a huge difference in the northeast region of Tennessee.
