Populations We Serve

The Division of Family Health and Wellness serves all populations across the life course. We believe this is the most beneficial and impactful route of ensuring all Tennesseans live a healthy and prosperous life. The life course refers to the cultural, social, and structural phases that we go through throughout our lives. The stages of the life course are as follows:

We have a focus on special health care needs, as we assist children, youth, and transitioning adults (0 to 21) who have complex chronic health conditions or developmental delays, and their families with resources and services that are comprehensive, culturally sensitive, evidence-based and family-centered. We understand not all children, or all families are the same, therefore, we provide services based on the individualized and specific needs of your child and your family. To learn more about the programs and services offered, please visit Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN).
