The CAC Office on Aging Care Provider Academy will provide employees of home care agencies with training and support in the areas of Mental Health, Financial Stability, and Community Resources.

- Caregiving can often lead to burnout. Protect your mental health by learning important coping skills and resources available to you.

- Emergencies happen! In fact, most Americans experience emergency incidents that cost on average $2,000 per year. Learn the basics of saving and budgeting.

- Taxes are overwhelming for everyone. Let’s take away the guesswork and have an expert teach us the do's and don’ts of tax preparations.

- Did you know that there are financial resources available to help you? Gain information about important community resources that can help your family and the clients you serve.

This hands-on training will be provided by expert educators from the Mental Health Association of East TN, Families Together Academy, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, CAC Community Neighborhood Center, and CAC Office on Aging.

Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live.

We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.

CAC is a public agency serving the citizens of Knoxville and Knox County’s low to moderate-income families, the unemployed and underemployed, persons with disabilities, and others with special needs for services.

Our motto is: “Helping People. Changing Lives.”

To do that, CAC utilizes caring staff and volunteers to deliver efficient services to help people achieve self-sufficiency and independent living through intervention, education, and empowerment.

We serve people of all ages from infants through Early Head Start to the elderly through the Office on Aging. We meet needs for food, shelter, transportation, education, advocacy, training, and case management and provide opportunities to give back through volunteerism.

We proudly join with local, state, federal, and private sector partners and individuals to improve living conditions that benefit the entire community. CAC is governed by a diverse group of people who represent the people served by CAC programs, local government, and the community at large.
