I am beyond thrilled to announce that the first-ever youth caregivers peer support group for the state of Tennessee will start in January, thanks to the Vanderbilt Government and Community Relations Community Engagement Collaboration! I am deeply honored to work alongside Tennessee Caregiver Coalition (Megan Schwalm, PhD and Annisha Bell) and Vanderbilt University student Jolie Hawthorne. This is monumental for TN's youth caregivers and only the beginning. Read about our grant below 👇

From integrating literacy into music education to empowering teens with digital balance, seven innovative projects have been selected for the fall 2024 Community Engagement Collaboration Fund. Faculty and staff from 11 of Vanderbilt’s schools, departments and centers have joined forces with local nonprofits, schools and other community stakeholders to bring these initiatives to life. Congratulations to all the recipients for their inspiring work! 👏 #CommunityEngagement #Nashville 🔗Learn more: https://ow.ly/cV8b50Us5B4
