Middle Tennessee – Parthenon Pavilion of the TriStar Health System was the first clinical affiliate for The Jason Foundation. It is the oldest and largest full service psychiatric facility in Middle Tennessee. It is a 158-bed hospital that provides inpatient and intensive outpatient mental health services. In 2000, Parthenon established an affiliation with The Jason Foundation to expand their services as well as those of JFI. A very innovative program was designed to service the area with education and resources that address the problem of youth suicide. The Community Assistance Resource Line is a 24 hour/7-day per week no-cost service for parents, teachers and others that need information and help for a troubled teen. Parthenon provides clinical specialists for phone assistance around the clock to help people when they call The Jason Foundation with concerns. They also provide awareness and prevention programs using JFI materials. This unique affiliation has proven to be extremely successful and valuable. The model is being replicated by other health systems in the nation. Together, JFI and Parthenon Pavilion pioneered a program that is making a difference for and saving the lives of our youth.
