Today, we honor the anniversary of D‑Day.

On this day, brave Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in one of history’s most pivotal operations. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve changed the course of World War II and safeguarded the freedoms we cherish today. May we never forget the heroes who fought, those who fell, and those who carried the weight of that day for the rest of their lives.

We remember. We honor. We are grateful.

Our department was proud to participate in the CARES Conference 2026!

Hosted through a partnership between the Tennessee Department of Human Services and Tennessee State University, the conference brought together experts, trainers, and professionals from across the nation to address the growing challenges facing aging and vulnerable adults in the 21st century.

With a focus on preventing neglect, abuse, and exploitation, the conference highlighted strategies to strengthen protection, increase awareness, and enhance support for older and at-risk adults.

It was a powerful day of learning, collaboration, and advocacy as we worked together to promote safety, dignity, and well-being for some of Tennessee’s most vulnerable citizens.
