One word to describe Tuesday's event would be incredible. Ahead of International Overdose Awareness Day coming up, we partnered with the Tennessee Department of Health and STARS Nashville to host an opioid overdose awareness training and pack opioid prevention kits. Together with an amazing room of volunteers, we packed 2,800 kits to be distributed throughout the community which will aid in harm reduction and help prevent overdoses in Tennessee.

Our “Meet the Team” tour of TDMHSAS HR professionals continues with Inita Wells who serves as the HR director at Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute! Hi, I’m Inita Wells. I’ve spent the past 12 years working in Human Resources across a variety of industries including healthcare, education, recruitment, and mental health. My journey in HR had been quite hands-on, often managing the HR department as a team of one, which has given me a well-rounded understanding of everything HR-related. I grew up in Chicago and went to school in Wisconsin, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee. In 2017, I made the move to Nashville, and it’s been an exciting chapter in my life and career. In addition to my professional life, I’m a big fan of Marvel movies and I enjoy camping – some fun facts that often surprises peoples. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, passion, and unique perspective to the team. If you are looking to join the team, email our recruiter at [email protected] or visit our website at https://bit.ly/3WTZSEW

We're still BUZZING from our first-ever statewide School-Based Behavioral Health Liaison conference! The energy in this room was incredible... the sharing of resources, ideas, and INSPIRATION was life changing! This program has grown in great ways over the last few years thanks to Gov. Bill Lee, the Tennessee General Assembly, and our community mental health provider partners.
