Community Collaboration for Children waiting list is growing. CCC has been busy helping families with their needs and trying to get the waiting list down. April was Child Abuse Awareness Month, CCC provided pinwheels and yard signs in all eight of our counties. Trail of Hope Regional Network is required to hold trainings: Trauma Informed Care training was on April 19th at the Hardin County Extension Office was a huge success.

I would like to welcome CCC’s New In-Home Worker Jazmine Head. Jazmine grew up in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and attended Austin Peay State University where she gained her bachelor’s degree. She is very excited to continue to work with families and help in the community. Parent Engagement Meeting Program has been busy with the year-end reports for Marion County Elementary schools. We are working on getting other counties to participate in the PEM program. Trail of Hope Regional Network is attending Community baby showers in Washington, Hardin, and Meade counties.

The Trail of Hope Regional Networks Build A Bed program has been extremely busy already making sure 88 children have a bed. We are working on sponsorships to purchase bed frames, mattresses, bedding, and pillows.
