Stepping Out, Inc. Our mission is guiding people to a better life. Stepping Out, Inc.

We are a faith-based 501 C-3 organization which works to create a pattern of positive behavior in individuals and families by equipping them with skills to achieve emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. is a faith-based 501 C-3 organization, which works to create a pattern of positive behavior in individuals and families by equipping them with skills to achieve emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. We advocate for adults to rise above adversity and take ownership of their future and as parents to become the positive role models for our next generation. Many participants of Stepping Out struggle to make a stable life for themselves and their family due to the absence of early childhood training and emotional development. Many lack the emotional intelligence and aptitude to process through negative thoughts or perceptions which cause them to make inappropriate and unwise choices when faced with everyday problems. Often those choices cause financial difficulty, separation from family, antisocial, co-dependent, and destructive behavior. Stepping Out desires:
β€’ For every parent to leave a legacy of responsibility, self-control and love for their children.
β€’ For every man and woman to have the emotional and practical skills they need to maintain healthy relationships, thrive in a rewarding job, overcome adversity, and consistently make healthy decisions.
β€’ For anyone who feels like a victim to become a victor. SOI makes available a portfolio of curriculum specifically chosen because it encourages a new paradigm of positive thinking and contributes to making stronger, more secure families, a dedicated workforce and engaged citizens for our community. Chartered in 1999, and through partnerships and referrals from government agencies, the judicial system, private corporations, and other faith-based organizations, SOI has served thousands of residents who live in the East Tennessee, Lakeway Area of: Hamblen, Cocke, Jefferson, Grainger, Hawkins, and Claiborne Counties. This project is funded under a Grant Contract with the State of Tennessee, Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.

πŸ’™πŸ’› Rich in Community: 31 Days of Impact

Sometimes the greatest measure of an organization's impact is found in a single story.

When Alexis Swaney first came to Stepping Out, Inc., she was looking for guidance on becoming a better parent, building a healthier relationship with her husband, and creating a stronger future for her family.

Through Stepping Out's Parenting and Automatic Positive Thinking classes, Alexis gained skills, confidence, and a new perspective on life. She learned healthier ways to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and focus on personal growth.

Today, Alexis has regained full custody of her daughter, obtained reliable transportation, and is preparing to further her education while continuing her recovery journey.

Her story is a powerful reminder that lasting change doesn't happen overnight. It happens when people are equipped with the tools, support, and encouragement they need to move forward.

Stepping Out helps individuals and families through programs focused on:
πŸ“š Building positive thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Strengthening parenting skills and creating healthier family relationships
πŸ’΅ Developing financial literacy, budgeting, and household management skills
πŸ’¬ Managing emotions, improving communication, and overcoming personal challenges

For more than 25 years, Stepping Out has been helping individuals and families throughout our community take meaningful steps toward stability, self-sufficiency, and hope. Their mission is simple: Guiding People to a Better Life.

Alexis' story is just one example of what can happen when someone is given the opportunity, support, and encouragement to grow.
