🎅✨ Be a Santa for Someone in Need! ✨🎅

The McNabb Center is still looking for generous sponsors to help make the holidays magical through our Dear Santa program! Each of our clients provides a wish list, and sponsors help by shopping for those items to ensure everyone has a joyful holiday season.
You can participate as an individual, with your family, coworkers, or even as a community group to sponsor one or more clients. Every gift makes a difference and brings smiles to those who might otherwise go without.

We appreciate the chance to join this important conversation and collaborate with others working to ensure everyone has access to the resources they need.

Our executive staff recently attended the John Fontaine Jr. Foundation Charity Event at the Lookout Mountain Club.

The best time to educate young people about high-risk behaviors is before they are faced with the choice to engage in activities like alcohol and drug use.

JFJC’s signature program, BrainAbouts®, uses neuroscience to empower students, caregivers and school faculty to learn about and openly address these important topics together.

At the McNabb Center, our Elevate High School program and Hamilton County School-Based Behavioral Health Liaisons utilize BrainAbouts® to help students better understand their developing brains and make positive, informed decisions.
