Improving the lives of the people we serve
Community lights the way for sexual assault survivors
Jackie* was sexually assaulted by her boyfriend. While being treated
for her injuries in the emergency room, the Sexual Assault Center
of East Tennessee (SACET), a service of the Helen Ross McNabb
Center, was contacted to consult with her. She was examined by
a nurse specializing in sexual assault,
and an advocate provided her with
support and connected her with
needed resources, such as therapy
and support groups at SACET. Jackie
is healing with the support of sexual
assault services. She has hope and
strength.
Jackie’s story is not uncommon. The
Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee provides safety and support
with free and confidential services
to adults, children and families in 16 Tennessee counties. During
the 2015 calendar year, the Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee served more than 2,000 children and adults and reached more
than 7,500 people through education and outreach programs. The
mission of SACET is to provide excellent and compassionate services for survivors of sexual assault and to empower communities
through education and social change. The services of SACET, in addition to the 24-hour crisis hotline, include sexual assault nurse examinations, advocacy, therapy, education and outreach.
During the month of April, the Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee encouraged the community to “light the way” for victims of
sexual assault by participating in awareness activities and through
Light the Way, an online giving campaign. A donation to Light the
Way fulfills basic needs and provides therapy tools for survivors
of sexual assault. To learn more or to donate to the Light the Way
Campaign, please visit mcnabbcenter.org.
Throughout April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the community
raised awareness and support not only through Light the Way but
also through other activities sponsored by the Sexual Assault Center
of East Tennessee.
Teal Day
On April 13, the community was invited to wear teal, the awareness
color for sexual assault, and share pictures on social media using the
hashtag #TEALout. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4.

Spirit Award Dinner celebrates
Kershaws for improving lives
Celebration filled the air at the
Helen Ross McNabb Center’s
2016 Spirit Award Dinner honoring George and Cheryl Kershaw. More than 600 friends
of the Kershaws and the Helen
Ross McNabb Center gathered
at the Knoxville Convention
Center on March 1 to celebrate
the service and achievement of
the honorees. The Center established the Spirit Award Dinner in 2004 to celebrate individuals who have demonstrated
Jackson Higley, Alex Higley, Blair Griffin, Julie Griffin, Cheryl Kerthe Center’s simple yet powershaw, George Kershaw, Lindsay Nickels, Griffen Nickels, Joey Nickels
ful mission of improving lives
and Gavin Nickels at the Helen Ross McNabb Center’s 2016 Spirit
in East Tennessee, and the KerAward Dinner honoring George and Cheryl Kershaw.
shaws have clearly demonstrated this commitment. George, a
veteran and businessman, and Cheryl, a celebrated educator and community leader, have
both improved lives by dedicating their talents and time to the community. George and
Cheryl became involved with the Helen Ross McNabb Center in 1995 when George, a lover
of golf, helped develop the Center’s annual golf tournament fundraiser. He served as the golf
committee chair from 1995-1999 and continued serving on the committee until 2012, and
he has helped to raise approximately $500,000 for the Helen Ross McNabb Foundation.
From 1999-2005 and 2008-2015, George served on the Helen Ross McNabb Foundation
Board of Directors and worked on various campaigns, including the 2000 annual fund campaign, which raised funds for the Martha A. Withers Friendship House, a peer support center
for adults living with a mental health diagnosis. Cheryl’s impactful career in education has
given her a heart for prevention and early intervention programs. From her work and experience with children, she knows the extent to which emotional issues or trauma can weigh on
a child. She is a dedicated supporter of making resources available to children in need.
“We have a passion for the Helen Ross McNabb Center because we see the hope that is
given to thousands of Tennesseans in the 25 counties that the Center serves,” George said.
“The Helen Ross McNabb Center provides hope for the poorest and sickest segment of our
population and causes wonderful life changes to occur.”
At the event, attendees browsed silent auction items ranging from George and Cheryl’s favorite things to vacations, art and jewelry. Following the reception, guests enjoyed a seasonal spring dinner and a program reflecting
the Kershaws’ fun-loving and awe-inspiring
personalities. With Bob Pryor serving as
emcee, guest speakers described the
Kershaws’ unwavering commitment
to expanding resources for East Tennesseans in need of mental health
care and assistance. Guest speakers included Andy Black, Helen Ross
McNabb Center executive advisor
for philanthropy; Mitch Steenrod, Pilot Flying J chief financial officer and
Spirit Award Dinner chair; and Julie
Hank Bertelkamp, Mitch Steenrod and Joe Connell enjoying

Ready, set, unite! McNabb Center unites community
for Child Abuse Prevention Month
In honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April, the
Helen Ross McNabb Center invited our community to unite
around child abuse prevention programs. As a provider of mental
health care, addiction and social services to children and adults,
the Center understands the importance of prevention services
in our community, and it promotes prevention programming as
the most effective way to ensure children are given the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life, free from abuse and neglect.
The Center provides multiple programs that develop children’s
social and emotional well-being and prevent child maltreatment
within families and communities.
“We know that prevention works,” Mona Blanton-Kitts, Helen
Ross McNabb Center vice president of clinical services, said. “The
Helen Ross McNabb Center helps strengthen families every day
through prevention and early intervention programs.”
According to Tennessee Children’s Advocacy Centers, every hour
of every day, there is allegation of child abuse in Tennessee. Child
abuse is a problem in every county and community across Tennessee. The Helen Ross McNabb Center works to lower these
statistics by ensuring that parents have the knowledge, skills and
resources they need to care for their children. For more information, visit mcnabbcenter.org.
Four Square for Kids
Child Abuse Prevention Walk
The community came together to make a difference “four” children on Monday, April 4! Guests enjoyed games of four square
and food at the Central Flats and Taps percentage night to benefit the therapeutic preschool services at the Helen Ross McNabb
Center.
Everyone donned royal blue, the awareness color for child abuse
prevention, and pinwheels, the symbol of hope for survivors of
child abuse, for the Center’s free community prevention walk on
Tuesday, April 12, at Market Square, located in downtown Knoxville.
Therapeutic Preschool is a 10
week intensive outpatient program for children ages 4-5 who
have experienced a traumatic
event, such as abuse or neglect.
These children have special emotional requirements that many
child care or school facilities are not equipped to accommodate.
The program provides cognitive and developmental stimulation,
therapeutic behavioral treatment, nurturing, structure and help
with basic skills. The preschool also provides case management
and therapy services for children ages 2-8.
As participants arrived, they could peruse a community information fair with child abuse prevention information and resources.
A short program helped kick off the festivities. Proclamations
were presented and remarks were made in honor of Child Abuse
Prevention Month by Mona Blanton-Kitts, Helen Ross McNabb
Center vice president of clinical services, Russ Jensen, Knoxville’s
311 director, and a survivor of child abuse. Other local officials
and advocates for child abuse prevention were also in attendance. The Center united the community in support of child
abuse prevention to demonstrate our commitment to protecting the children of East Tennessee.
negative effects of child abuse
“ The
can last far into adulthood," Mona
Blanton-Kitts said. "Prevention
and early intervention programs
can increase a child’s likelihood of
being healthy and happy.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month events continued
Hike the Hill in Heels
Shatter the Silence
“The Hill’ on the University of Tennessee, Knoxville campus is
notorious among students and alumni for its steep slope, but
that couldn’t stop students, faculty and staff from hiking it for
sexual assault awareness.
The community joined the Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee for Shatter the Silence, an event and open house, on
Thursday, April 28, from 4-6 p.m. Local officials, law enforcement and community organizations gathered together to demonstrate the community’s commitment to supporting survivors
of sexual assault. Guests viewed the Clothesline Project of survivors’ stories and artwork, toured the Center, and were invited to
"light the way" to resources through the Sexual Assault Center of
East Tennessee's online giving fund. For more information, visit
mcnabbcenter.org.
On Friday, April 1, the UT Center for Health Education & Wellness kicked off Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the second
annual Hike the Hill in Heels. The event called the University of
Tennessee community to action by asking they hike from Humanities Plaza to Ayres Hall. This steep walk in uncomfortable
shoes symbolizes getting people out of their comfort zone to
discuss the issues surrounding sexual assault that are often difficult to talk about.
“We put the focus on being uncomfortable, and the shoes are
just a metaphor for that,” Ashley Blamey, UT Center for Health
Education & Wellness director, said.
“Sexual assault is one of the most under reported
crimes. It is estimated that nationally 68% of cases
are left unreported. Let’s bring issues surrounding
sexual assault to light in East Tennessee,” Catherine
Oaks, assistant director of victim services, said.
After the hike, students participated in contests, and they had
the opportunity to visit tables for information. The Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee staff was available to answer
questions and provide resources. Event participants were
also encouraged to make a donation to the Sexual Assault
Center of East Tennessee through the Light the Way Campaign.
National Denim Day
The community was encouraged to wear denim and share
pictures on social media using the hashtag #DenimDay on
Wednesday, April 27. Denim Day is a national campaign
to wear jeans with a purpose. The denim symbolizes support for survivors, and the campaign educates and raises
awareness about sexual assault. The campaign stemmed
from a sexual assault court case in Italy in the 1990s.

Spirit Award Dinner continued
Concluding the evening, the Helen Ross McNabb Center’s president and CEO, Jerry Vagnier, presented George and Cheryl with
the 2016 Spirit Award.
The event raised more than $150,500 to provide addiction,
mental health and social services to children, adults and families in our community. Mitch and Debby Steenrod led the Spirit
Award Dinner committee, creating a memorable evening for the
Kershaws and everyone in attendance.
The Kershaws have demonstrated their dedication to our community through incredible support of the Center’s mission of improving lives throughout the years, and the Spirit Award Dinner
was a wonderful occasion to honor their service.
Consolidated Nuclear Security supports military services
George joined the military and served in the Air Force from 19671973. Following his service in the Air Force, he joined the Air Force
Reserve and, from 1975-1994, served as the Air Force Academy
Liaison Officer for East Tennessee. He was a commander for 15
years. He was very active in the Air Force Reserve, having served
with the 14th Air Force in Sharjah UAE during “Desert Shield” and
served on the Joint WWII Commemoration Committee in Washington, D.C., where he coordinated activities in connection with
the opening of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the
Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of D-Day in England
and France. While serving in the Air Force Reserve, George briefly
worked for Marteq Corporation before co-founding D&K Management, Inc., a property management company, in 1974.
In honor of George and other veterans and military personnel
across East Tennessee, Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS)
presented a $150,000 check at the Spirit Award Dinner for the
Center’s new outpatient mental health services for veterans and
military personnel.
Of the 2.4 million active duty and reserves deployed to Iraq and
Afghanistan, approximately 30 percent will experience a mental
health disorder. Unfortunately, less than half of returning veterans needing mental health treatment receive care. The Helen
Ross McNabb Center’s mission of “improving the lives of the people it serves” led the organization to create specialized services
for military personnel and their loved ones. These services are
confidential and free for individuals facing Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder, depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, thoughts of
suicide and other invisible wounds incurred from service.
Jason Bohne, CNS senior director of communications and public affairs,
and Jerry Vagnier, McNabb president and CEO, celebrating the support of
CNS at the Spirit Award Dinner.
The Center recently purchased a building located on Middlebrook
Pike to accommodate for the newly created military services.
Renovations to the building are expected to be complete in summer 2016. Military services will offer specialized individual and
family therapy. These services will be provided by clinical therapists trained in military culture. Our hope is to serve those who
have courageously served our country to guarantee they have access to the resources and support they need to continue healthy
and purposeful living.
