Smoky Mountain Children's Home

Smoky Mountain Children's Home is a private, faith-based, not-for-profit agency serving dependent, neglected, and at-risk children and youth. Working in child welfare, it provides care through residential, foster care, and adoption programmes, with the stated aim of offering safe environments in which young people can develop their abilities and move past difficult circumstances. The organisation has been in service for over a century.

Its headquarters and residential campus are located in Sevierville, Tennessee. Three programmes make up its work. The Residential Program provides a stable home environment on the Sevierville campus for children and youth in care. The Foster Care Program trains and supports foster families, who are described as stepping stones to permanent homes. Adoption Services, staffed by dedicated personnel, works to unite children and youth with permanent families.

The agency is mission-driven and values care, love, and healing as its operating principles. It works collaboratively across the Tennessee region as a network partner of Every Child Tennessee. Further details on the organisation and its programmes are available at https://smch.org/.
