Designed To Support Your Growth & Goals

MHI was founded in 2023, initially serving adults with disabilities through vocational rehabilitation and private one-on-one services. As we engaged with the communities of Middle Tennessee, we noticed there was a significant number of adults with disabilities who would benefit from a structured day program at an out-of-home location, designed to support their personal goals.
