Beginning July 1, kratom will no longer be legal in Tennessee under Matthew Davenport's Law. As Tennessee prepares for this change, individuals who regularly use kratom may experience challenges as access to the substance ends. If you or someone you know is concerned about kratom use, help is available.
You don't have to navigate this alone.

Our staff had a wonderful day at DHA Summer Camp! 🌞

The kids had a great time creating vision boards, enjoying gym time, and wrapping up the day with positive personal affirmations. It was inspiring to see their creativity, confidence, and enthusiasm shine through each activity.

A special thank you to DHA and especially Terry Wilcox for allowing us to be part of this annual event. We always look forward to spending time with these amazing youngsters to help encourage healthy, positive choices for their future! 🌟
