Our mission is to strengthen communities through effective prevention and treatment services to children and families. Our vision is to be the agency of choice for young people in crisis. We will accomplish this by creating communities where young people and families receive support, advocacy, and stability. For the past two decades, growth and innovation have been hallmarks of the Florence Crittenton Agency as we have moved beyond our original focus as a maternity home to provide comprehensive services that meet the needs of both male and female adolescents, as well as children, families, and adult clients. A 55-bed residential treatment facility remains one of the core functions of our agency, providing addiction recovery and mental health services to adolescent males and females, ages 13 to 18. A separate foster care program works primarily with teens, sibling sets, and children and youth whose families are in crisis. Our outpatient services division specializes in the treatment of co-occurring disorders for adolescents and adults. School- and community-based assessment and therapy, group education, and prevention programs support our core mission and values. Located on 26 wooded acres overlooking the Great Smoky Mountains, the Florence Crittenton Agency's Knoxville campus houses academic and recreation facilities for residential clients, as well as clinical and administrative offices for inpatient, outpatient, and community-based programs.

Our mission is to seek to rescue the poor and needy of the Knoxville area by providing recovery services in Jesus'​ name. We believe that Rescue + Relationships = Restoration. As we provide daily for those most vulnerable and desperate among us, we first supply rescue services of food and shelter, then offer healthy, supportive relationships. The ultimate goal for those who come to us in need is restoration...to God, self, family and community. KARM provides nearly 1,000 meals each day and shelters nearly 400 men, women and children each night in the Knoxville area.
