What it reported doing in 2013

Family support and preservation services - through our family support and preservation services, child & family Tennessee is able to provide therapeutic services to men, women, and children at our therapy center and in the home. We also offer parenting classes and support, guidance in the juvenile justice system, in-home nursing services for first-time mothers, and assistance with employment and housing to families in need. Child and family served men, women, and children through our family support and preservation programs. Our child and family therapy center and pasaac program provided many hours of counseling to its clients. Our child abuse prevention (cap) program provided hours of parenting classes to its participants. Our kids on the block program presented hours of puppet shows to children in east tn. The clients served through these programs were satisfied with the services they received. The clients in these programs showed improvement in work, school, and family relationships. 100 percent of clients in the child abuse prevention (cap) program made progress on their goals while in the program. In our nurse family partnership program, babies born to mothers in the program were born at full-term, at a healthy weight. Families receiving in-home counseling demonstrate an improved situation through making progress on treatment goals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
