Volunteers will plant native species/flowers: 240 Iris bulbs, 240 Daffodil bulbs and 120 Black Eyed Susans in the flower beds and throughout downtown Elizabethton.
If everyone will bring garden tools if they have them, that would be great. We will practice social distance and wearing of masks will be required.

Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth Regional Councils and National Association for Social Workers -Tennessee Chapter to host
SAMHSA’s
Trauma Informed Approach:
Key Principles
With guest Presenter
Becky Haas
National Speaker and Consultant
A New Understanding of Trauma
Until recently, trauma survivors were largely unrecognized by the formal treatment system. The costs of trauma and its aftermath to victims and society were not well documented. Inadvertently, treatment systems may have frequently re-traumatized individuals and failed to understand the impact of traumatic experiences on general and mental health. Today, the causes of trauma—sexual abuse, violence in families and neighborhoods are matters of public concern. A movement for trauma-informed care has emerged to ensure that trauma is recognized and treated and that survivors are not re-victimized when they seek care. Complementing these changes are programs to promote healthy development of children and healthy behaviors in families, schools and communities that reduce the likelihood of trauma.
- • Key Principles of Trauma
- • SAMHSA’s Key Principles for a Trauma Approach
- • Trauma’s Impact on Brain Development
- • Where Do We Go from Here – Review Your Agency
- • Using ACE and the Prevalence of Trauma
- • Offering Hope and Healing
- • Four “R’s” of Trauma Informed Agencies
October 20, 2020
9:30AM until 12:30 PM EST
This training has been approved by the National Association of Social Workers – Tennessee Chapter for 3 hours of CEUs.

PEAK Progress: Spotlight on
Mentoring
The PEAK Mentoring Program is pleased to share its progress for the month of September 2020. This month was a huge month for the program as we were able to start back with face to face meetings (with all current health guidelines being followed).
The PEAK Mentoring program is currently partnering with Carter County Drug Prevention, The Elizabethton/Carter County Public Library, and the Bonnie Kate Theater for a Weekly World Tour! The World Tour starts every Wednesday from 11am – 12pm with free lunch and activity bags picked up behind the Library. Following, at 1pm, families meet at the Bonnie Kate for a free movie. During the World Tour this month we have traveled to Australia, England, Brazil, and Germany, watching
The Rescuers Down Under,
Mary Poppins Returns, Rio, and
Tangled on the big screen. The World Tour will run for 12 weeks total with eight more weeks of fun to come.
The Bonnie Kate has concessions available at each film and funds raised go to the rebuilding fund of the historical Bonnie Kate Theater. Jeff Treadway and the volunteers at the Bonnie Kate have done an excellent job in showing the films and providing refreshments to the participants of the World Tour! We are grateful for their partnership.
The PEAK Mentoring program would like to recognize PEAK Mentor Steven Barry for volunteering to be a positive influence in an at-risk youth’s life. Steven Barry was one of our first mentors to go through the training and has stayed with the program through these uncertain times we are facing. Steven patiently waited for a mentee during the pandemic and kept in contact with the program anticipating his match. Recently, Steven was called with a potential match, stepped up to the plate and is currently serving as a PEAK Mentor! THANK YOU, STEVE!!!
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for our program and willing to make a one-year commitment to an at-risk youth.Please email Shannon Payne at elizabethtonmentors@outlook.com or call or text 423-791-8624 for more information.
