Barry Fain, a spokesperson and charter board member with
SafeHarbor, states, “Dr. Blevins is a superb addition to our
efforts. We wanted to make sure that we have a well-rounded
representation of the disciplines needed to properly
serve the child-victims of abuse in our area. And, Dr. Blevins’
background provides for wonderful
representation of the mental health field.” In addition to Dr.
Blevins’ career at Carson-Newman, he brings considerable experience
from his years in private practice and as the Director of Barnabas
Counseling/Resource Center. “Dr. Blevins was approved by a unanimous vote of the board members
present at our November 10th board meeting”, notes Fain.
“Dr.
Blevins is the third and final board member representing our Jefferson County
