East Tennessee feels a little heavier today. Dolly brought so much joy, kindness, and love to the place she called home, and her impact on our community is impossible to measure.

If you’re feeling sad today, or simply need someone to talk to, we’re here. Grief doesn’t have to be a crisis to deserve support. Call or text us at 988, anytime.

Thank you for everything, Dolly. We will always love you. 🦋💜

Yesterday was a really special day for CONTACT Care Line. We officially held our first CARE Su***de Intervention Training, and we could not be more excited about how it went!

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us, participated thoughtfully, and gave us valuable feedback. Thank you for helping make our very first training such a meaningful launch. We are so proud of what CARE is becoming, and we cannot wait to see where it goes next.

And thank you again to the Trinity Health Foundation of East Tennessee for making this opportunity possible and supporting the development of CARE.
