Teanna Arnold

As a single, working mom and an MTSU student with two boys and a complex extended family situation (that brought her to The Family Center), Teanna didn’t initially participate in our Positive Parenting… Plus! groups with an open mind. Yet through listening and building trust with her Family Coach, Teanna realized she could learn and grow as a parent if she engaged. It didn’t take long before she became highly invested! After completing the initial 8 weeks of parenting sessions, she registered for Nurturing Parenting… then joined our Parent Leadership Council to give back. Teanna recognizes parenting isn’t easy and embraces The Family Center as part of her parenting village; we’re honored to be included. We’re humbled by her trust and thrilled to recognize the amazing job she’s doing in “raising resilience” in her sons!

Jill Obremskey, MD, MMHC, FAAP

As a pediatrician Jill recognized the challenges families facing socioeconomic or cultural/racial barriers experienced, especially when it came to ensuring their children had safe, stable, nurturing places to live & grow. She also knew the systems surrounding the most vulnerable families needed to better understand and integrate ways to be culturally competent, inclusive, & empathetic. This has become her life’s mission across her various roles as a physician and an administrator. She donates time to leading committees, serving on boards to offer a voice for those not at the table, and sharing her passion for children and their potential for flourishing. Jill’s advocacy on behalf of our families & their children is truly “activating change” in a positive way!! We’re beyond grateful for ALL she does for The Family Center and in our community.
