Kristen Davis & Melanie Scott: Nurture the Next

In this episode we sit down with two fun, energetic, and driven ladies from Nurture the Next. Their mission is to create a future for children and families filled with promise and prosperity. Their vision is to see all children in Tennessee thriving in safe, stable and nurturing families and communities. For over 35 years, the organization's mission has been to support parents and the communities where they live in creating loving homes that make children feel nurtured. In 2008, they committed to using evidence-based program models in our daily work. Nurture the Next's programs are rooted in research and proven to positively impact the lives of both the children and the adults in the home. In 2010, they expanded their direct services to families from three counties to 20 counties in Tennessee. Today, they provide in-home parenting support in 30 counties in Tennessee and offer several statewide programs. Previously known as Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee, they recently took on a new name to put greater emphasis on what they do, rather than what they prevent.
