Every child deserves to feel safe.

1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday, and in approximately 90% of cases, they know the person responsible.

These facts are difficult to hear, but they show why awareness and prevention matter. When we understand the reality, we're better equipped to protect the children in our lives.

New Hope is here to restore hope to children and families in Blount County who have experienced abuse or trauma, with every service provided at no cost to families.

A little teamwork and a lot of heart!

Thank you to the Kappa Delta Alpha Epsilon group from UT for helping install pavers along our Paver of Hope walkway!

Each paver represents a special person, family, business, or message of encouragement from someone in our community who wants to make a difference for the children and families we serve.

For $120, you can add your own personalized Paver of Hope and leave a lasting reminder of the hope our community helps build every day.

Our therapy team recently celebrated 20 therapy graduations in Quarter 3!

At New Hope, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to heal and know they are not alone. When a child graduates from therapy, they get to decorate a rock for our rock garden as a way to encourage the children who come after them.

Each rock is a reminder that others have walked this path before them and that there is hope for brighter days ahead.

Here are just a few of the special rocks you can find in our garden! We are so proud of these milestones and grateful to be part of each child’s journey toward healing. 💙

What an incredible day at Live2Lead East Tennessee!

A huge thank you to Paul Boyles Executive Coaching and Training LLC for bringing this conference to Maryville and inviting New Hope to be the community spotlight partner. Our team gained so much valuable insight and loved every minute!

We’re also grateful to everyone who brought a stuffed animal for our Hope Chest and to our very own Celina Sikes for doing a fantastic job sharing about New Hope and the work we do right here in Blount County!

It’s because of a community that shows up, gives generously, and believes in our mission that we can continue restoring hope to children and families who have experienced abuse or trauma. Thank you for being part of it! 💙

A big thank you to the Women on Mission group with Springview Baptist Church for donating new blankets to New Hope!

At New Hope, we want every child who walks through our doors to feel safe, supported, and cared for. From providing comfort items to meeting basic needs through our Hope Chest, even the smallest things can make a difference in helping a child feel at ease.

These blankets will be a special way to offer warmth and comfort to the children we serve.
