Project BASIC, founded in 1985, serves elementary students in 39 counties in Tennessee. Project BASIC is funded by the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities.
    The coping skills, self-confidence and problem-solving skills developed by the BASIC program will help students make GOOD choices throughout their lives.

Program Focus
    Project BASIC serves schools in five counties through a partnership with Frontier Health: Carter, Greene, Hancock, and Hawkins.

   The Child Development Specialist provides classroom presentations that target appropriate expression of feelings, social skills, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills.

   The Child Development Specialist also provides teachers support with students experiencing difficulties, and assists in developing a plan to help the child overcome them and succeed.
    Project BASIC offers education and support to families in finding and accessing appropriate services for their children. Through these services, Project BASIC strives to provide students, school staff and families with the tools to promote better attitudes and skills in children.
