he area's leading mental healthcare providers came together in 1996 to better provide cost-effective and high-quality care to children, adolescents and adults. By taking a leadership role in the changing healthcare environment, Covenant Behavioral Health has created an organization that is committed to improving the health of the people and communities it serves.
With a combined total of 75 years of experience, the members of Covenant Behavioral Health continue to provide a wide array of learning opportunities and outreach programs to the communities it serves.

Each year, thousands of East Tennesseans are touched by at least one of these offerings - all of which are available at no cost to the public.
