More than 100,000 military veterans call East Tennessee home. Oftentimes, veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression or traumatic brain injury (TBI), all of which may impact the veteran’s daily life. The McNabb Center believes it is especially important for all those who have courageously served their country to have access to the resources and support they need to continue healthy and purposeful living. The program is available to anyone who has served in the military and/or their family members, without a fee. Members of all branches of services, regardless of discharge status and length of service, are eligible.
The Helen Ross McNabb Foundation launched a capital campaign in support of expanding the Center’s Military Services program in Knox County. In 2019, the Foundation secured funding through the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s Hidden Heroes grant. This contribution allowed the Center to continue serving the caregivers of our military veterans.
Currently, the McNabb Center employs four Master’s Level Behavioral Health Clinicians who are veterans themselves to provide services for veterans throughout East Tennessee. The Helen Ross McNabb Foundation continues to seek funding at $500,000 annually to maintain the McNabb Center’s veteran services program.
