What is Tennessee Brighter Futures?

Tennessee Brighter Futures (TBF) is a statewide group of agencies and organizations that help people who may have multiple diagnoses or needs. TBF is organized and facilitated by Brain Links through a contract from the Tennessee Department of Health TBI Program.

The purpose of TBF is to share expert information and build upon learning from each system of support’s experience to strengthen how we can best:

• Screen
• Support
• Educate

TBF helps systems of support to be prepared to serve people with co-occurring conditions. TBF is made up of agencies and organizations with expert knowledge in one of these key areas:

• Mental Health
• Trauma/Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
• Brain Injury
• Homelessness/Housing Instability
• Juvenile Justice
• Criminal Legal System
• Child Abuse
• Domestic Violence
• Pain
• Substance Use Disorder
• Social Determinants of Health, including rural health, minority health, disability, aging, gender, and veterans.
