The Tennessee School for the Deaf was established in 1844 by an act of the State Legislature, and opened its doors with nine students in 1845. The school was located in what is now known as "Old City Hall" on Summit Hill Drive in Knoxville, Tennessee until 1924. It was then moved to its present location, a ninety-six acre campus located on the banks of the Tennessee River in South Knoxville. The Tennessee School for the Deaf offers an individualized and comprehensive educational program. The school provides a total learning environment that utilizes state of the art curricula, materials and methods for the purpose of preparing students for adult life. Students are equipped academically, vocationally, physically, emotionally and morally to meet the daily challenges presented by society. The Instructional Program is known as a leader in the education of the deaf and hard-of-hearing. The program serves students from nursery through grade twelve.

John J. Wilson, Acting Administrator FACT SHEET #8 March l994. FAMILY STRENGTHENING FOR HIGH-RISK YOUTH by Sharon L. Cantelon STRENGTHENING FAMILIES John J. Wilson, Acting Administrator, has stated, "Healthy childhood development is crucial for a child to become a well adapted and productive member of society." Yet, an unacceptably high percentage of American families are in trouble. Too many children live in poverty, a large number of which are members of racial or ethnic minorities. Many live in fatherless homes. Most mothers work outside the home, often because of economic need; consequently, many children are cared for by child-care workers, or left at home as "latch-key" children. Others may be reared by parents who abuse alcohol or other drugs, engage in crime, or abuse and neglect them. Children whose families fail to provide adequate supervision are more likely to become anti-social. Lacking proper role models, children develop their own norms based largely on their desires. While children are the first victims of the deterioration of family life, society suffers as well. Strengthening the ability of families to rear children must becomeand remaina national priority. The influence of the family environment on the child's social development lasts a lifetime. Accordingly, effective delinquency prevention efforts must involve the family, and should incorporate family strengthening. OJJDP PARENTING INITIATIVE In 1988 the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) launched a major parenting initiative entitled "Effective Parenting Strategies for Families of High-Risk Youth." An interdisciplinary team comprised of family researchers at the University of Utah and policy scientists at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation were selected to carry out the program. The principal investigators were Dr. Karol Kumpfer, Assistant Professor in the Health Education Department of the University of Utah and Dr. Peter Schneider, formerly a Senior Research Scientist at Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. For the purposes of this initiative, a family strengthening program was defined as any intervention that works with either a parent or caretaker of a child or some members of a family (including at least one target child) with the goal of reducing risk or increasing protective factors for problem behavior. An extensive literature review focused on the causes and correlates of delinquency, and the effectiveness of prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies for high-risk families. Some 450 agencies across America, representing social services, education, health, mental health, substance abuse, children's services, and juvenile justice, and a pool of key contacts were asked to nominate promising programs deemed effective in strengthening the family's ability to rear children. Review of the 394 nominees disclosed that many of the programs contained subprograms worthy of separate consideration, raising the total number to 547. Assessment of the nominated programs yielded 25 different intervention strategies (and a myriad of variations) for strengthening families. These strategies do not exhaust all the possibilities. A matrix was used to organize programs and services according to the family's level of functioning and the child's age. This conceptualization may help agencies determine the most appropriate family services for their target populations. PROMISING PROGRAMS Based on all sources of information, the researchers identified a representative group of 25 programs in six categories as potentially the most promising. Many of these programs have been formally evaluated. During the course of the University of Utah study, the Principal Investigator conducted site visits to all 25 programs. The programs (and their developers or sponsors) are: FAMILY PRESERVATION PROGRAMS 1. Homebuilders (Behavioral Sciences Institute, Homebuilders Program Federal Way, WA) 2.

Parents and Children Videotape Series (University of Washington, Seattle, WA) SUMMARY There is no one-size-fits-all family strategy for preventing delinquency. Several types of parenting programs are needed. There are programs designed for parents of infants, children, and adolescents. Some programs are best suited for well-functioning families, while others address the needs of dysfunctional families. Features common to effective programs include the fit between the family's needs and the content and duration of the course, the recruitment and retention of participants, and follow up. In its Fiscal Year 1994 proposed Program Plan, OJJDP plans to solicit development of programs to strengthen families of high risk youth, utilizing the results of this initiative, along with other relevant sources.

Family Re-Union Background Family Re-Union is a series of annual conferences moderated by former Vice President and Mrs. Gore that bring together families, and those who work with them, to discuss and design better ways to strengthen family life in America. Vice President Gore believes that programs and policies should respond to the needs and strengths of families and communities not to the demands of government bureaucracy. For the past eight years, Family Re-Union has explored a different topic of critical importance to families. In a year-long planning process, dozens of local and national experts share their experience with the Vice President, Mrs. Gore, government leaders, and conference sponsors and planners. The conference design grows from and highlights many of these discussions, leading to the new insights, public and private commitments, and ultimate results of each Family Re-Union. Family Re-Union is a dynamic and on-going policy development process that changes the way issues are perceived as each year's topic is explored. Countless local programs, policies and new partnerships have been inspired by Family Re-Union. See individual conferences for summaries that describe just some of the results.

Welcome to the Family Re-Union web site, a collection of reports, speeches, and resources from the annual Family Reunion conferences. "Family Reunion" is a policy initiative informed by a series of annual conferences that are moderated by former Vice President and Mrs. Gore. The conferences bring together families and those who work with them to discuss and design better ways to strengthen family life in America. Vice President Gore believes that programs and policies should respond to the needs of families and communities, and should build on their strengths. Each year for the past nine years, Family Reunion has explored a different topic of critical importance to families. The conferences bring together about 1,100 people on site in Nashville, Tennessee and thousands more around the country in community conversations at down link sites. Family Reunion includes plenary sessions, smaller working group sessions discussions and a film collage of media on the topic. The conference site is Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Each conference has been the result of a year-long planning process that brings together experts and academics in the field along, with program leaders and individual family members. They have engaged in a dialogue with each other, the sponsors and the Vice President, raising crucial programmatic and policy issues that become the core of the conference. The conference design builds on these discussions, leading to the new insights, public and private commitments and concrete results of each Family Reunion Some of the outcomes of previous conferences can be seen on this website.
