The Florence Crittenton Agency

Located on 26 wooded acres overlooking the Great Smoky Mountains, the Florence Crittenton Agency's Knoxville campus serves as a home for our inpatient and outpatient programs. Six buildings house academic and recreation facilities for residential clients, as well as clinical and administrative offices for inpatient, outpatient, and community-based programs.

For the past two decades, growth and innovation have been hallmarks of the Florence Crittenton Agency. Having outgrown our original facility, FCA relocated to our current location -- a modern 26-acre campus that houses residential treatment programs, community outreach and administrative offices, a private on-campus school, and recreational facilities including a ropes course. FCA has also moved beyond its traditional focus as a maternity home, providing comprehensive services that meet the needs of both male and female adolescents, as well as children, families, and adult clients. A 55-bed residential treatment facility remains one of the core functions of our agency, providing addiction recovery and mental health services to adolescent males and females, ages 13 to 18. A separate foster care program works primarily with teens, sibling sets, and children and youth whose families are in crisis. Our outpatient services division specializes in the treatment of co-occurring disorders among adolescents, as well as pregnant and parenting women. School- and community-based assessment and therapy, group education, and prevention programs support our core mission and goals.

 

It is the mission of the Florence Crittenton Agency to strengthen communities through effective prevention and treatment services to children and families.

It is our vision to be the agency of choice for young people in crisis, and we will accomplish this by creating communities where young people and families receive support, advocacy, and stability.
