We are a free pregnancy help medical clinic that offers pregnancy tests, ultrasound, options counseling, and practical assistance. We offer mobile services in communities around the Upper Cumberland. The Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic opened in August of 1988 and since that time we have helped in close to 50,000 client visits.
Having horse experience and a special love for children with special needs, Bobbie set out to find out what it would take to be able to offer riding to special children. When a student comes out to the farm, Bobbie interviews the family to see what they want to achieve and then set a plan into action to get them to where they want to be. The students are having fun riding and don’t realize they’re actually working those muscles and the eye-hand coordination. They’re working on gross motor skills, fine motor skills, concentration and sequencing.
The Upper Cumberland TN Reconnect Community (UCTRC) is a free resource that provides the avenue for a new start – for a postsecondary degree or credential leading to career advancement or even a new career direction because “life happens,” changing the direction of lives from intended goals. The program includes free academic advisement and support services provided by navigators/advisors working directly with adults who lack skills and the required postsecondary credential, providing support to and through graduation.
